Caching

When your application runs slow, throw some caches in. Well, at least
|
|
|
|
|
it's the easiest way to speed up things. What does a cache do? Say you
|
|
|
|
|
have a function that takes some time to complete but the results would
|
|
|
|
|
still be good enough if they were 5 minutes old. So then the idea is that
|
|
|
|
|
you actually put the result of that calculation into a cache for some
|
|
|
|
|
time.

Flask itself does not provide caching for you, but `Flask-Caching`_, an

extension for Flask does. Flask-Caching supports various backends, and it is

|
|
|
even possible to develop your own caching backend.
