What is your experience with caching using Spring?

In Java projects using the Spring Framework, I employed built-in caching through annotations such as @Cacheable, @CachePut, and @CacheEvict. This significantly improved performance by reducing database access. For example, a method that returns user data by ID can be annotated with @Cacheable so that subsequent calls with the same parameter retrieve data from the cache:

@Cacheable("users")
public User getUserById(Long id) {
    // database query
}

I also configured the cache using CacheManager, choosing an appropriate cache type (e.g., ConcurrentMapCache or EhCache).
