Custom Caches

Using a custom cache can help you improve code performance by storing data that is expensive to calculate, takes a long time to retrieve, or is accessed frequently. You define a custom cache in a JSON file in a custom cartridge.

  • What Is a Custom Cache?
    Approximately 20 MB of memory is reserved for all custom caches on each application server. A B2C Commerce instance can have multiple application servers, but custom caches on different application servers within the same instance are separate and not synchronized across the instance.
  • Define a Custom Cache
    You define a custom cache in a cartridge using a JSON file. You can have up to 100 custom caches across all cartridges in a code version. Any cartridge within a code version can access all the caches defined in all the cartridges of that code version.
  • Use Custom Caches
    To store, retrieve, or manage a cache entry, use the B2C Commerce script API classes dw.system.CacheMgr and dw.system.Cache.
