Caching

Learn about Flapi's caching capabilities and optimize API performance.

Cache Configuration​

Configure caching in your endpoint YAML:

cache:
  cache-table-name: 'products_cache'
  cache-source: products_cache.sql
  refresh-time: 15m

Caching Strategies​

Memory Cache​

In-memory caching for fastest access:

caching:
  type: memory
  ttl: 3600  # Time to live in seconds

Redis Cache​

Distributed caching with Redis:

caching:
  type: redis
  host: localhost
  port: 6379
  ttl: 3600

Cache Invalidation​

Time-based Invalidation​

Cache entries automatically expire after TTL:

caching:
  ttl: 3600  # Entries expire after 1 hour

Manual Invalidation​

Invalidate cache entries programmatically:

endpoints:
  /data:
    cache:
      invalidate:
        - on: POST /update
        - on: PUT /update
