Let's talk about something cool: Stale-While-Revalidate (SWR) caching. Imagine your app serves up slightly outdated data right away, while quietly updating it in the background. This means users get speedy responses without waiting for fresh data to load. Sweet, right? So, how do we get this running in a NestJS app? Meet RedisX.
