Next.js Cache Components

Deep expertise on the Next.js 16 caching model. Covers the 'use cache' directive, cacheLife() profiles, cacheTag() invalidation, cacheComponents configuration, and Partial Prerendering (PPR) integration.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

• Implementing caching in a Next.js 16+ application
• Migrating from unstable_cache or revalidate patterns to the new caching API
• Configuring component-level caching with cacheComponents
• Setting up cache invalidation with tags
• Integrating Partial Prerendering (PPR) with cached components
• Choosing between static generation, ISR, and dynamic rendering
