# Alternatives to use before using cache

* Caching can be hard use and maintain
* Try using other methods (see section ...)
* Examples to increase performance/lower latency
  * Reduce number of proxy
  * Choose more performant serializing and deserializing payload (ie protocol buffers)
  * Use http/2, have multiple requests on the same tcp connection (reactive servers like netty)
  * For client, use same tcp connection to send requests (similar to object pooling)
  * Avoid large payloads, large queries (no select \*), use pagination, if filtering/ordering do it in the db, indexes in db
  * Reduce client side processings
