Action caching for Action Pack
A Rails gem providing action-level caching that runs through the full controller stack, allowing authentication and filters.
What is Action caching for Action Pack?
ActionPack Action Caching is a Ruby gem that provides action-level caching for Rails applications. It caches the entire output of controller actions while still processing requests through the full Rails stack, solving the problem of caching pages that require authentication or other pre-processing logic. This approach offers performance benefits similar to page caching but with the flexibility of running controller filters.
Rails developers building applications that need to cache dynamic pages while maintaining authentication, authorization, or other controller-level logic. Particularly useful for applications with authenticated user sections that still benefit from caching.
Developers choose this gem because it restores a crucial caching strategy removed from Rails core, offering better performance than fragment caching for full pages while maintaining security through controller filters. Its flexible configuration options and support for multi-tenant applications make it a versatile caching solution.
