Currently we use passive caching, a route is called and then the results are found and cached. If the results are already cached then we use the results.
Context
if two users call the route with no cache, then the route is called twice
Possible Implementation
Use active caching.
This could be done by every 1 mins, or when needed the cache is updated. For example the airflow could call the api. We could pass in a variable in the route called cache=False which forces the cache not to be used
Then the users always loads the cache
fail safe: if the cache is more than 1 hour old, then the cache is not used
