Answer from AI
Main types of caching in systems:
- Processor cache (CPU cache) — fast access to frequently used data within the processor (L1, L2, L3).
- Memory cache — storing data in RAM for quick access, such as object caches in applications.
- Disk cache — caching data on disk to speed up repeated reads.
- Database level caching — for example, using Redis or Memcached to store query results.
- HTTP caching — caching web resources on the client side or proxy server.
Each type of caching helps reduce data access time and decrease load on data sources.
