Learn everything you need to know to use Accelerate's global database caching

Location: Accelerate > Caching queries

Prisma Accelerate provides global caching for read queries using TTL, Stale-While-Revalidate (SWR), or a combination of both. It works with your own database once you enable Accelerate in the [Prisma Data Platform](https://console.prisma.io?utm_source=docs) and [configure it with your database](https://www.prisma.io/docs/accelerate/getting-started). Prisma Postgres has no query cache of its own: a Prisma Postgres database uses this cache only through a hosted Accelerate connection. Accelerate, including those connections, will be retired on December 1, 2026; see [Connect to Prisma Postgres without Accelerate](https://www.prisma.io/docs/postgres/database/switch-from-accelerate).
