What are some examples of using cache in Django?

Django provides several caching strategies. For example, you can use the in-memory cache for quick data retrieval.

Can you give me a specific code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using the cache framework:

from django.core.cache import cache

# Set a value in the cache
cache.set('my_key', 'my_value', timeout=60)

# Retrieve the value from the cache
value = cache.get('my_key')
print(value)  # Output: my_value

What about caching database queries?

You can cache database queries using the cache_page decorator. For example:

from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page

@cache_page(60 * 15)  # Cache for 15 minutes
def my_view(request):
    # Your view logic here

Are there any best practices for using cache in Django?

Yes, some best practices include setting appropriate timeout values, avoiding caching sensitive data, and using cache versioning.
