How can I handle errors in Django cache backend?

You can handle errors in Django's cache backend by using try-except blocks around your cache operations.

What specific exceptions should I look out for?

You should look out for CacheKeyError, CacheTimeoutError, and general Exception for unexpected issues.

Can you give me an example of using try-except with caching?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.core.cache import cache

try:
    value = cache.get('my_key')
except CacheKeyError:
    print('Key not found!')
except Exception as e:
    print(f'An error occurred: {e}')

What should I do if the cache backend is down?

If the cache backend is down, you can implement a fallback mechanism to use the database or a default value.
