Avoiding security incidents due to request collapsing

Request collapsing is a caching optimization feature that can inadvertently expose sensitive data when multiple concurrent requests are merged into a single backend call. Understanding and properly configuring this behavior is necessary to prevent accidental information disclosure in cached systems.

Why it matters: Development and operations teams using caching services need to identify and mitigate request collapsing risks to prevent sensitive data exposure in production environments.
