How to use cache in cloudflare workers
I recently added caching to Easyanalytics with Cloudflare's web cache API and thought of writing about it before it fades from my memory.
Cloudflare offers a range of cache products and services such as CDN (Content Delivery Network), this article will not delve into those aspects. Instead, we will concentrate solely on understanding and utilizing the Web Cache API for caching within Cloudflare Workers. Unlike traditional caching products that rely on basic key-value pairs for caching, Cloudflare takes distinctive approach with its caching mechanism, particularly the utilization of the Web Cache API within Cloudflare Workers. It allows developers to programmatically cache responses directly within their Workers. This article will primarily focus on leveraging the Web Cache API within Cloudflare Workers.
Cost: Cloudflare's Web Cache API is included as part of the Cloudflare Workers platform with liberal free tier, making it a cost-effective option for developers looking to optimize performance without incurring additional expenses on third-party cache services.
