I have a route

def some_function(value):
   fetch metadata for value from another api .....
   return some_data


app.route("/"):
def something(value):
    data = call_function(value)
    process.. data...
    return data

I am wondering if there is a way to cache the output of some_function(value)

I have a front end calling this end point every few mins and the some_function fetches meta data on each calls. seems like a waste of a call, especially if the far away tool has been impected somehow. Is there a way to store the data and return quickly in this case?
