The implementation of the caching is heavily adopted from https://github.com/long2ice/fastapi-cache. Unortunately, we cannot directly use that package because:

it does not support caching of post requests
it does not support postgres backend for storage.

While the functionality is tested via some rather trivial unit tests I would like to give it a more thorough testing on real data. Then we can also see if the caching actually has the desired effect on performance.
