Warm Up Your Cache for Performance

Understanding the various layers of caching in web applications is crucial for performance optimization. When an application is first launched, these caching layers may not be fully initialized, leading to initial slowdowns, particularly during template parsing. Properly configuring caching in production ensures that once a template is parsed, it remains cached for subsequent requests, significantly speeding up response times. Additionally, leveraging tools like Locust for load testing allows developers to create user flow simulations in Python, facilitating fine-tuning of application performance by programming user interactions and behaviors.
