+## Addition of the Cache Table for Metrics
+
+On the DANDI homepage, metrics exist for how many users, and how much data is stored in the Archive.

+
+In order to not constantly query for those values, DANDI uses a [Django cache table](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/cache/#creating-the-cache-table). This table must be separately initialized.
+
+This can be done via the CLI command of:
+
+```shell
+heroku run python manage.py createcachetable dandi_cache_table --app <insert-app-here>
+```
+
+You may not see updated stats immediately, as the stats are cached for 12 hours at a time.
