Hello @Deepak Suresh

Can you provide more context? Who are the users and what type of data to you want to cache?

IAP best practices document mentions caching[1]:

Don't use a third-party CDN in front of your application. CDNs may cache content and serve cached pages to unauthenticated users.
If you have large, non-sensitive resources that you want to serve from a CDN, use a separate domain such as images.yourapp.com for these resources. Use the CDN with that domain and add the Cache-control: private HTTP response header to all objects that should only be served to authenticated users.
