Revalidating Cached Data

What is Revalidating Cached Data?
Revalidation is the process of updating cached data. When you cache data, it's stored for a certain period. After that period, or based on specific events, you might want to refresh the data to ensure your application displays the most up-to-date information. Revalidation allows you to control when and how your cached data is updated, balancing performance with data freshness. Revalidating in Next.js is conducted through the revalidatePath and revalidateTag functions.
