Definition: Cache Service ABB is a Technology service that temporarily stores data, content, or computation results in order to improve performance, reduce latency, and minimise repeated access to backend systems. It enables faster data retrieval and optimises resource usage by serving frequently accessed information from high-speed storage.

Interoperability Saliency: This ABB is salient for technical interoperability because it allows systems across different organisations to access shared services efficiently without repeatedly invoking backend systems. It improves performance and resilience. Additional information: Caching Service does not define what data means or how it is governed. It only optimises how data is temporarily stored and retrieved at runtime.
