Question: Next.js specific infra

[guy7373]

Assume we want to add caching to the data access layer. get from cache if none or stale get from DB and cache.

In next.js (or, rather, react) there is a built in caching, how would you utilized this cleanly?

Depending on the situation, but you would either use the cache function inside of the repository or at the controller level.

[guy7373]

in the new next js caching is done on the page/component level. this basically "bleeds" the repository logic to the UI.
The next js level is now aware of the "cacheability" of the data.
