Caching Technologies for Web Applications

Summary: Tutorial survey of web-application caching for transactional workloads, spanning granularity, placement, CDNs/edges, dynamic personalization, and database-cache architectures. Highlights practical concerns—invalidations, policies, monitoring, routing, failover, security—and evaluates prototypes, products, and case studies. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
