Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - Types of Caching

The video tutorial discusses different types of caching: in-memory, disk, and distributed cache. In-memory cache is the fastest but loses data on restart. Disk cache is slower but retains data. Distributed cache enhances performance and scalability by storing data across multiple machines, beneficial for distributed systems like microservices. The focus is on understanding these caching types and their use cases.

What is in memory cache and how does it function?

Explain the impact of cache type on data persistence during machine shutdown.

Describe the characteristics of the second type of cache mentioned.

What are the advantages of using distributed cache?

How does the performance of distributed cache compare to in memory cache?
