The top [scored](#score) match is, anecdotally, good enough for correcting and filling in surface-level play data like Title and Artist names.

··· 585 585 586 586 </details> 587 587 588 + ## Best Practices 589 + 590 + ### Caching 591 + 592 + MS uses [caching](/configuration/#caching) to reduce the number of API calls needed for stages like [Musicbrainz](/configuration/transforms/musicbrainz) and to speed up all transforms by caching steps and results. However, the default caching strategy uses a small cache size and very short [TTLs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_live) because it is *in-memory*. 593 + 594 + **If you are using any Transform stages you should configure [secondary caching with Valkey for Metadata](/configuration/?cacheType=valkey&cachedThings=metadata#secondary-caching-configuration)** to increase the cache size and lifetime of cached items. This will also reduce memory usage in MS. 595 + 596 + <details> 597 + 598 + <summary>Example</summary> 599 + 600 + Add valkey service to your [multi-scrobbler docker compose stack](/installation?runType=docker-compose#docker) and configure MS to use it for metadata: 601 + 602 + ```yaml title="docker-compose.yml" 603 + services: 604 + multi-scrobbler: 605 + image: foxxmd/multi-scrobbler 606 + # ... 607 + environment: 608 + # ... 609 + // highlight-start 610 + - CACHE_METADATA=valkey 611 + - CACHE_METADATA_CONN=redis://valkey:6379 612 + // highlight-end 613 + # ... 614 + 615 + // highlight-start 616 + valkey: 617 + image: valkey/valkey 618 + volumes: 619 + - valkeydata:/data 620 + 621 + volumes: 622 + valkeydata: 623 + driver: local 624 + // highlight-end 625 + ``` 626 + 627 + </details> 628 + 588 629 ## Examples 589 630 590 631 See **Examples** sections in specific Stage docs (also in the sidebar):
