Caching with Rails: An Overview
===============================
This guide is an introduction to speeding up your Rails app with caching.
This guide is an introduction to speeding up your Rails application with caching.
Caching means to store content generated during the request-response cycle and
to reuse it when responding to similar requests.
Caching is often the most effective way to boost an application's performance.
Through caching, web sites running on a single server with a single database
can sustain a load of thousands of concurrent users.
Rails provides a set of caching features out of the box. This guide will teach
you the scope and purpose of each one of them. Master these techniques and your
Rails applications can serve millions of views without exorbitant response times
or server bills.
After reading this guide, you will know:
* Page and action caching.
* Fragment and Russian doll caching.
* How to manage the caching dependencies.
* Alternative cache stores.
* Conditional GET support.
