An interactive concept flow for caching and routing change the request path, from its assumptions through the main operation and boundary checks.
trace / request.md
readyA cache stores reusable results near the request path to reduce repeated work or latency. Routing decides which server or shard handles a request. Together they affect freshness, locality, load distribution, and which layer is responsible for serving a particular version of data.
Use the stages in order to explain caching and routing change the request path. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
For a worked explanation, continue to the topic article and execution trace.
