Client-side caching vs microservice caching

Caching on the client side of Content Delivery (that is, in the Content Delivery APIs, also known as Content Interaction Libraries, as set up in your Web application) is different than caching on the Content Delivery server side (that is, in the microservices or Content Interaction Services).

The difference between the two caching features is:
  • Client-side caching (that is, caching in your Web application) is based on a time-based, eventually consistent cache
  • Microservice caching (also called Content Interaction Services caching or CIS caching) is based on always-consistent caching, if cache invalidation (through JMS) is configured properly.
