With the caching of web applications, most people tend to wait to implement it until they encounter performance problems. First the admin usually looks at the database and adds an index here and there. If that does not help, the admin then takes a look at the views and adds fragment caching. But this is not the best approach for working with caches. The aim of this chapter is to help you understand how key-based cache expiration works. You can then use this approach to plan new applications already on the database structure level in such a way that you can cache optimally during development.
