Active Memory Caching. When you want to get data that you already had quickly, you need to do caching — caching stores data that a user recently retrieved. Caching partially stores your data and is not used as permanent storage. Caching partially stores your data and is not used as permanent storage.

We introduce a caching mechanism in the API gateway layer, allowing us to offload processing from singleton leader elected controllers without giving up strict data consistency and guarantees clients observe. When a new leader is elected it loads all data from external storage. The cache is kept in sync with the current leader process.
