Automatic caching for stateful applications can be implemented using aspect-oriented programming. In one example, a caching tool can detect, based on a selection from a client device, an update to a property of an instance of a software application. The caching tool can further identify a match between the update to the property and a predefined aspect. In response to the identifying the match, the caching tool may determine stateful information for the instance based on the selection from the client device. In response to determining the stateful information, the caching tool may automatically execute an asynchronous caching function to store, in a cache, the stateful information.
