# Cache
In this document, youll learn about Cache Modules in Medusa, how they work, and which modules Medusa provides.
## Overview
Cache is used in Medusa to store the results of computations such as price selection or various tax calculations. The caching layer in Medusa is implemented as a [module](../modules/overview.mdx). This allows you to replace the underlying database/cache store in your project.
Modules are packages that export a service. The main service exported from a cache module has to implement the `ICacheService` interface exported from the `@medusajs/types` package.
During the app startup, the modules loader will load the service into the [dependency injection container](../fundamentals/dependency-injection.md) to be available as `cacheService` to the rest of the commerce application.
---
## Available Modules
Medusa default starter project comes with the in-memory cache module (`@medusajs/cache-inmemory`). In-memory cache uses a plain JS Map object to store data, which is great for testing and development purposes.
For production environments, there is the Redis cache module package (`@medusajs/cache-redis`) that you can install.

}
},
]} />

## Custom Development
Developers can create custom cache modules to implement their custom cache logic. The module can be installed and used in any Medusa backend.
