Description
Hello,
Curious if caching has been implemented in the Python API yet? I'm trying to cut down on the time my shiny app takes to start when people visit the webpage. I have some figures that render each time the app starts but they take about 5 seconds to show up when someone navigates to my site. Can I cache these somehow? They are programmatically generated based on the dataset which mostly doesn't change but will change slightly from time to time.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by checking the Python API's existing caching support and how the home-page figures are generated. Determine whether generated figures can be cached while allowing for datasets that change slightly over time. Done means documenting or implementing a clear caching and invalidation approach for the reported startup delay.
