Caffeine caching library

Caffeine is a high-performance, Java-based caching library.^[600-developer-principle-cache.md]

It is often utilized in Java development to optimize application performance by reducing the latency associated with data retrieval, particularly by mitigating the slowness of network or disk access compared to in-memory operations.^[600-developer-principle-cache.md]

Usage and Integration

In modern Java architectures, Caffeine is frequently integrated within Spring Boot applications to create Multi-level caching strategies.^[600-developer-principle-cache.md] A common implementation pattern involves combining Caffeine (as a local in-memory cache) with Redis (as a distributed remote cache) to achieve a balance between speed and data consistency.^[600-developer-principle-cache.md]
