Wow! Yeah definitely a physical representation of caching. Did not know that still happened in the year 2016, hopefully that has changed in last 2 years.
I'd heard a much more rudimentary version of this analogy but the way you broke it down made the bigger picture really clear! I like that you covered both server and browser caching, things make more sense now. Thanks for this explanation!
Very welcome Tag :)
Great post ! Your explication with the milk/farm is awesome, it helps a lot to understand how the cache works.
Thanks Thomas!
Thank you for the great article. We’ve at Alconost got so inspired that we’ve translated it into Russian so that our non-English speaking colleagues can read it too habr.com/company/alconost/blog/416...
Wow! Great analogy!
This is a great article! I feel ashamed how much I didn't know about caching as a web developer.
May I translate this article into Korean and share to other developers in Korea?
Yep go ahead. Please credite CodeAnalaogies for the original article and link back to it: blog.codeanalogies.com/2018/06/11/...
Sure thing! :)
Awesome! I was totally confused about caching before, but this makes is so easy to understand. Thanks!
What's pasteurization in this analogy? ;-)
Haha, gonna need to think about that one :)
I know this was written a while ago, but still doing a great job of explaining caching!
I like this.
