How can I implement reverse proxy caching for my web application?

To implement reverse proxy caching, you can use tools like Nginx or Varnish. Do you have a specific server setup in mind?

I'm using Nginx. What are the basic steps I need to follow?

First, install Nginx and configure it to act as a reverse proxy. Then, set up caching rules in the configuration file.

What caching rules should I include?

You should define cache paths, set cache keys, and specify which responses to cache based on status codes.

Can you provide an example configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

proxy_cache_path /tmp/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=my_cache:10m;

server {
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
        proxy_cache my_cache;
        proxy_cache_valid 200 1h;
    }
}
