CachePersistence
is an option for CloudObject and related cloud functions that specifies the time duration for which a response is cached by a client or on the server.
Details
- CachePersistence->t specifies that cached values should be kept for t seconds.
- CachePersistence supports Quantity objects.
- Possible settings for CachePersistence include:
-
Automatic cache static objects such as HTML pages or images for a short amount of time, while not caching other objectsNone do not cache the objectt cache the object for t secondsQuantity[…] cache the object for the specified quantity of time
- The cloud server adds a Cache-Control header to the HTTP response based on CachePersistence , which is taken into account by web browsers to cache the response.
- CachePersistence can be used with Delayed to specify how long to keep server-side cached versions of computations.

Export an image to cloud that will be cached in the browser for 1 day:
Check the value of the "cache-control" response header to verify the time duration for which the object will be cached by a web browser:
Deploy an expression that always evaluates on request:
Deploy an expression that is cached for up to 10 seconds:
Request the expression continuously for several seconds to confirm that the expression is only updated approximately every 10 seconds:
Scope (1)
Deploy a delayed evaluation with a server-side cache of 5 seconds, then redeploy it with no server-side cache. The redeployment invalidates the previous server-side cache:
