Next.js Server Side Rendering offers the getServerSideProps method that we can use to fetch data on the server side and make it available to the component as props. One way to store the fetched data on the server side is to use a caching mechanism, such as an in-memory cache or a persistent cache like Redis.
Next.js server-side rendering using the getServerSideProps method
Here’s an example using an in-memory cache:
In this example, the cache variable is used to store the fetched data, keyed by the data parameter. If the data is already present in the cache, it is returned immediately, otherwise, it is fetched from the API, stored in the cache, and then returned.
Optimizing performance using Redis
You can also use a persistent caching mechanism like Redis, which allows you to store the data on a separate server and access it across multiple requests.
Alternatively, you could use a persistent caching mechanism like Redis, which allows you to store the data on a separate server and access it across multiple requests. To do this, you would need to set up a Redis instance and use a library like ioredis to interact with it from your Next.js application.
You can store the data in Redis by setting key-value pair where the key is your data and value is the JSON response you get from your API.
