fastapi-cache is a Python library that adds caching to FastAPI endpoints and function results via a simple @cache decorator. It supports Redis, Memcached, Amazon DynamoDB, and in-memory backends, plus HTTP cache headers like ETag and Cache-Control.

Use cases

• cache fastapi endpoint responses
• cache function results in fastapi
• add redis caching to fastapi app
• serve cached responses with etag headers
• speed up slow api endpoints with caching
• cache api responses in memcached

When to choose

• you use FastAPI and want drop-in response or function caching
• you need pluggable cache backends like Redis, Memcached, or DynamoDB
• you want HTTP-level caching semantics like ETag and Cache-Control

When to avoid

• you use Flask, Django, or another non-FastAPI framework
• you need distributed cache invalidation or advanced cache strategies beyond TTL
• your app is not async or does not use FastAPI
