Caching in Pionia

Background.

Caching in Pionia is highly necessary and this guide will help us to understand the “why” and “how”.

Pionia uses a single endpoint architecture, this therefore means that all requests come via a single http verb “POST”, however, POST requests are never cached anywhere, that is, on the server or in the browsers. This is attributed to the fact that traditional browsers and servers have been made in a way that POST requests are only used to CREATE resources on the server.

However, Pionia uses POST verb for get too! Since all requests are coming through one window(endpoint), we cannot be switching verbs at that point, at least, this is not supported yet.

Pionia Caching at a glance!#

Pionia caching is not a hard concept. Since the entire caching is just a wrapper on top of the Symfony caching mechanism. All Caching adaptors supported by symfony are also supported here. By default, FilesystemAdapter is active by default. However, when going to production, however much this might even satisfy your basic needs, we recommend stronger, reliable and faster adaptors like Memcached or Redis.
