title: Can Firebase Cloud Functions Use an In-Memory Cache?
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions" rel="noreferrer">Firebase cloud functions</a> for a project, and some of those functions fetch data from a firebase database.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to speed up some of these queries by leveraging a LRU cache, but it's not clear whether this is possible with Firebase cloud functions.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if the Firebase cloud functions have access to any kind of cache / semi-persistent memory access? Any help others can offer on this question would be hugely helpful!</p>
