The CoreMedia system uses caching to provide a faster access to various e-Commerce entities (that is, products, categories, etc.). These entities will automatically be cached when used by the CoreMedia system. The unified API cache keys are used for caching the commerce entities.
The e-Commerce API defines cache classes for each entity. These are used to define default capacity and cache time.
Each of the default values can be adapted to the needs of your system environment by overwriting the corresponding properties.
The following overview lists all default values available for configuration. Each value can be overwritten in the
corresponding CoreMedia Blueprint application.properties file.
Please note that the CoreMedia system also performs an active event based cache invalidation (see also Section 3.4.13, “Event-based Commerce Cache Invalidation”).
