Methods and systems for optimized caching of data in a network of nodes are described herein. A server node of a plurality of server nodes may receive, from a device (e.g., a client device), a request for data. The request may be transmitted to the server node via a load balancing device. The server node may retrieve the data requested by the device. The server node may cache, at a cache location internal to the server node, the data requested by the device. The method may comprise transmitting, by the server node, a request to update a data mapping table to indicate a mapping of the server node and the data requested by the device.
