+ * Base class for all providers.
+ * 
+ * As an abstract class, it should not be used directly, but rather extended by other providers.
+ * 
+ * It implements the common logic for all providers, such as caching, transformation, etc.
+ * Each provider that extends this class must implement the `_get` and `_getMultiple` abstract methods.
+ *
+ * These methods are responsible for retrieving the values from the underlying parameter store. They are
+ * called by the `get` and `getMultiple` methods, which are responsible for caching and transformation.
+ * 
+ * If there are multiple calls to the same parameter but in a different transform, they will be stored multiple times.
+ * This allows us to optimize by transforming the data only once per retrieval, thus there is no need to transform cached values multiple times.
+ * 
+ * However, this means that we need to make multiple calls to the underlying parameter store if we need to return it in different transforms.
+ * 
+ * Since the number of supported transform is small and the probability that a given parameter will always be used in a specific transform,
+ * this should be an acceptable tradeoff.
