    Introduction

    MongoDB itself caches via WiredTiger. App-level caching (Redis, in-process) accelerates hot reads further. Choose based on data freshness needs.

    Understanding the topic

    • WiredTiger cache — default, transparent.
    • Redis read-through — sub-ms hot reads.
    • Application memo — for static lookup tables.
