Caching

API Mesh for Adobe Developer App Builder, uses dynamic content caching, which provides the following benefits:

• Reduced load on your sources
• Reduced latency and network hops
• Reduced bandwidth consumption
• Improved mesh performance
• Improved load times
• Simplified architecture (native caching only)

If you want to cache API Mesh responses, you have two options:

• Native caching - Use API Mesh's native caching feature without having to bring your own CDN
• Third-party caching - Provide your own third-party CDN, such as Fastly

Regardless of the option you choose, you can configure your cache-control headers to control how long a response is cached.

Enable native caching

API Mesh supports dynamic content caching natively using standard HTTP caching.

To enable caching in API Mesh, add "cache": true to your responseConfig in your mesh configuration file. Caching is disabled by default.
