When should I use caching instead of session management?

When should I use caching instead of session management?

Caching is best for storing frequently accessed data to improve performance, while session management is for user-specific data.

Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Sure! Use caching for static content like images, and session management for user login states.

What are the performance implications of using one over the other?

Caching can significantly reduce load times, while poor session management can lead to increased server load and slower response times.

Are there scenarios where I would need both?

Yes, in applications where you need to cache data for performance but also manage user sessions for personalized experiences.
