Edge Caching

[rahulagarwal13]

Feature Description

Ability to cache on the edge to reduce origin traffic and increase performance of your APIs

User value / outcome

Improving on the current V2 caching feature by providing the ability to cache near the client in a content delivery network CDN-like fashion. Achieve even lower global P95 response time while reducing server load as much as 90%.

Current status (design, alpha, beta etc.)

Hasura V2 Caching feature (using cached directive) on the edge expected by Q3 this year. Discovery in progress for other caching features such as -

• Server Side Caching (including cached List)
• Caching near the data source
• Cache on AuthZ (object ID based caching)
• Caching on external REST API (preventing data leaks becomes an issue if we combine with Cache on AuthZ idea)
• Smart Caching (partial caching - cached subsets)

Please comment on this issue with more information on your use-case or to upvote any of the ideas mentioned above
