Implementing Content Delivery embedded caching

Content Delivery embedded caching speeds up your website by storing commonly used or resource-intensive objects in a cache on the server. The cache keeps these objects available rather than making a database round trip to reinitialize them every time they are requested. By default, Content Delivery embedded caching is enabled for all types of data, but you can configure exactly what is and isn't cached (which includes the possibility of caching nothing at all).

About this task

Content Delivery embedded caching is based on Apache Ignite technology, but by default, this feature does not require you to set up an Ignite cache server. That only becomes necessary if you choose to make standalone caching nodes in addition to nodes embedded in the microservices. Documentation for Ignite is available from https://ignite.apache.org/docs/.
