Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About View Caching In Rails
If you’ve ever built a UI in Rails, you’ve probably noticed that views tend to get slower over time. That’s because adding features to a UI often means adding DB queries to the view. They add up. Fortunately, Rails provides us with an easy-to-apply band-aid in the form of view caching. In this article, Jonathan Miles introduces us to view caching, discusses when it’s appropriate to use, and covers common pitfalls to watch out for.
