About Getting or Setting a Cache Value
Use the cache.get_or_set() to get a cached value if it exists or create and cache a value if it doesn't:
from django.core.cache import cache
def get_user_data(user):
key = f"user_data:{user.pk}"
return cache.get_or_set(
key,
lambda: expensive_query(user),
timeout=300,
)
