CacheBox to Store Shopping Cart Configuration Info

Communities ColdBox HMVC

I’m new to using CacheBox and would like your thoughts on using CacheBox for the following scenario.

  1. Do you think it makes sense to store shopping cart configuration information in CacheBox? (i.e., store front address, phone number, contact, etc.)
  2. If not CacheBox but what would you recommend for ColdBox environment?
  3. Also, What would be an idea scenario to utilize CacheBox?

I realize the above question is general but I’m hoping to create a discussion that will drive the question into specifics. Any response to this topic would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I would use CacheBox to store data that is accessed often changes rarely (but DOES change) and is expensive to create. So basically, ask yourself if the data falls in those categories.

Honestly simple configuration data for a shopping cart that probably never changes, should probably just be a ColdBox setting declared in the settings struct of /config/coldbox.cfc.

Thanks!
