Does cache stay forever?
Once a resource is stored in a cache, it could theoretically be served by the cache forever. Caches have finite storage so items are periodically removed from storage. This process is called cache eviction. On the other side, some resources may change on the server so the cache should be updated.

What happens when you put a cache in front of a database?
When you place a cache in front of the database, most read requests will only reach the external cache and the database won’t keep these objects in its memory.
