Caching Plugin
Introduction
The Caching Plugin allows you to cache responses for specific GraphQL queries, enhancing performance by reducing repeated computation for frequently executed queries.
The plugin integrates with Hasura DDN as both a pre-parse plugin and pre-response plugin. It uses Redis as the caching backend, ensuring fast and reliable storage for cached query results.
Key benefits of the caching plugin include:
- Improved performance: Reduces load on your supergraph by caching frequently executed queries.
- Customizable caching: Define specific queries to cache and configure cache lifetimes.
- Integration-ready: Compatible with Hasura's lifecycle plugin hooks and OpenTelemetry for tracing.
