Caches - Beta Feature

Improving the performance of Zitadel has been a big topic over the last couple of months. Among other things we have implemented caches, which speed up the lookup of frequently used objects.
The implementation is currently done for Instances, Organizations and Milestones and will be further expanded in the future.

Testing Period: till 28. February 2025
Testing Objectives:
- Did you have any problems with the configuration?
- Did you encounter problems or bugs?
- Does it help with the performance of your system?
- Where should we add more caches?
- Do you want to see some other connectors?
How to test: You can find the configurations and how to test the caches in our documentation: https://zitadel.com/docs/self-hosting/manage/cache
Known Bugs / Limitations:
- Only implemented for Instances, Organizations and Milestones at the moment.
- Redis Cacha: circuit breaker immediately opens https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9150
- JWK Verify has limited algorithm support https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9068
Pre-Requirements: This can only be tested on self-hosting environments

Test the caches and add improvement or bug reports directly to the github repository or let us know your general feedback below!
