Decide on cache backend

Backends

There are three main "backend" options (memory, file, or database) when setting up the Django cache.

Memory

• Local-memory caching

• Memcached

  • Non-persistent (in-memory only).

• Redis

  • Saves snapshots to disk.

File

• Filesystem caching
  • Local storage on the file-system (as ".djcache" files).
  • While this could be a disk space concern, it is probably not nearly as much of a worry as memory consumption would be with the above three (3) options.

Database

• Database caching
  • Creating the cache table
  • Multiple databases
