# Cache

[Catalyst Cloud Scale Cache](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cache/introduction) is provided as an ephemeral storage component that can be used independently of your main data storage unit. It is highly useful when implemented in dynamic, memory-intensive applications. Catalyst cache can be implemented in your application using the SDK methods listed below.

# Get component instance

A component instance is an object that can be used to access the pre-defined configurations specific to a particular component. This process will not fire a server-side call.

The `app` reference used in the code below is the [Python object](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/setup/#initializing-the-sdk) returned as a response during SDK initialization. You can create a new `cache_service`instance as shown below. This instance will be used in multiple scenarios while performing cache component related operations.

```python
#Get cache component instance
cache_service = app.cache()

```
