How does cache expiration work in Django with Redis?

How does cache expiration work in Django with Redis?

In Django, when using Redis as a cache backend, cache expiration can be set using the timeout parameter when storing data. This defines how long the data should remain in the cache before it is automatically removed.

Can I set different expiration times for different cache keys?

Yes, you can set different expiration times for different cache keys by specifying the timeout parameter individually for each key when you store them.

What happens if I don't set an expiration time?

If you don't set an expiration time, the cached data will remain in the cache until it is explicitly deleted or the cache is cleared.

Is there a way to manually expire a cache key?

Yes, you can manually expire a cache key using the delete method or by using the expire method to set a new expiration time.
