Performance Features

Cache it like it's hot

{
  posts  { # Post: maxAge 900s swr 900s
     nodes {
       id
       title
       slug
       status # Post.status: swr 180s
       author {
         node { User: scope AUTHENTICATED
           id
           name
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Fine-grained cache control
Create custom rules to determine which GraphQL query results to cache for how long based on types and fields.
For example: Cache posts results for 900s and its status for 180s.
Automatic mutation invalidation
Invalidate any changed data sent to your GraphQL API automatically.
For example: editPost(id:5) will invalidate all cached query results containing the post with id 5.
Instant global cache purging
Purge specific data globally in about ~150ms.
For example: Purge the post with id 5 and any cached query results containing it.

Combine with metrics

Works great with Stellate GraphQL Metrics

Understand your global latency
Most GraphQL APIs sit in one data center. Monitor your global latency and verify the performance boost your users get through edge caching.
Get cache hit rate insights
Understand how the attributes of your various data types affect the cache hit rate of individual queries.
Check your purging analytics
Whether auto invalidated from mutations or manually invalidated from the API, Metrics show when and what is being purged from the cache.
Become a pro in cache debugging
Track every request and its cache state. Monitor your cache hit rate and understand why certain requests are being cached and others are not.
