last-modified timestamps

Last modified timestamps are records indicating the most recent time a file or document was changed. They help track updates and manage version control.

How do you handle client-side caching and cache management in backend systems?

Client-side caching and cache management in backend systems play a crucial role in improving performance and reducing network traffic. By storing previously fetched data on the client-side, subsequent requests can be served from the cache instead of making round trips to the server. This not only minimizes latency and improves user experience but also reduces the load on the server. To handle client-side caching and cache management effectively, backend systems implement various mechanisms such as caching headers, ETags, last-modified timestamps, and cache invalidation strategies.
