Introduction to Caching in Flowstack

Caching is a powerful feature in Flowstack that significantly enhances performance by storing the response of requests for future use. When enabled, caching can reduce latency and improve the efficiency of repeated requests.

​
Enabling Caching

To enable caching for your API in Flowstack:

  1. Access the Dashboard : Log in to your Flowstack dashboard.
  2. Enable Caching : Navigate to the caching settings and toggle the caching feature to ‘Enabled’.

​
How Caching Works

  • Exact Request Body Match : Caching in Flowstack operates on the principle of an exact match of the request body. This means that a cached response is returned only if an incoming request exactly matches a previously made request in terms of the request body content.
  • Default Expiry Time : By default, the cached responses are stored for 30 days. This duration determines how long a response is kept in the cache before it is considered stale and is subsequently removed.
