App Router data fetching: what do `cache: 'no-store'` and `revalidate` change?

Answer

`cache: 'no-store'` opts out of caching and always fetches fresh data. `revalidate` sets a TTL for cached data, enabling ISR‑like behavior where data is refreshed after N seconds. Both control how Next caches fetches on the server.
