Caching improves application performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory, reducing database queries and external API calls for faster response times. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented caching strategies in high-traffic Node.js applications throughout my 12 years of backend development since 2014. The most effective approach combines in-memory caching for simple use cases with Redis for distributed caching across multiple servers. This method provides flexible cache invalidation, TTL management, and scalability from single-server to distributed architectures without application code changes.

Service workers enable Vue applications to function offline, cache assets efficiently, and provide progressive web app capabilities for enhanced user experience. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented service worker strategies in production Vue apps throughout my 12 years of frontend development since 2014. The most effective approach is using vite-plugin-pwa with Workbox for automated service worker generation and flexible caching strategies. This method provides zero-config PWA setup, automatic asset precaching, and customizable runtime caching without manual service worker coding.

Service workers enable offline functionality, asset caching, and progressive web app features, improving application reliability and user experience during poor network conditions. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented service workers in production React applications throughout my 12 years of frontend development since 2014. The most effective approach is registering a service worker with proper lifecycle management and using Workbox for caching strategies. This method provides reliable offline support, automatic asset caching, and update handling without complex manual service worker coding.

Using Apollo Client in Vue provides a comprehensive GraphQL solution with intelligent caching, optimistic updates, and reactive query management for enterprise-grade applications. As the creator of CoreUI with extensive Vue experience since 2014, I’ve implemented Apollo Client in numerous enterprise applications for sophisticated data management and real-time user experiences. The most effective approach involves integrating Apollo Client with Vue 3 using the official Vue Apollo plugin for reactive queries and seamless state management. This method provides advanced caching strategies while maintaining excellent developer experience through declarative query composition and automatic UI updates.
