sfcc-caching

What problem does it solve?

Caching in SFCC can dramatically reduce latency and backend load by selecting the right cache layers (page cache, custom cache via CacheMgr, and service response cache) and applying correct invalidation and TTL strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Choose the appropriate cache layer (page cache, custom cache (CacheMgr), service response cache) to optimize performance and resource usage.
• Design keys with site and locale scoping, use atomic get-or-load patterns, and cache POJOs rather than heavy API objects.
• Monitor hit ratios and write failures using Business Manager, adjusting TTLs to balance freshness and responsiveness.
• Ensure proper registration of caches in caches.json via cartridge package.json, and maintain immutable cached values to prevent in-place mutations.

Quick Start

Configure a cartridge-level caching strategy using caches.json and CacheMgr to minimize repeated data lookups.
