Strapi GraphQL + Redis caching

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hey everyone!

I try to configure GraphQL queries caching by redefining ApolloServer parameters from my config directory:

apolloServer: {
  tracing: false,
  introspection: true,
  cache: new KeyvAdapter('redis://redis:6379'),
  cacheControl: {
    defaultMaxAge: 3600,
  },
}

But I don’t see any result of performance improvements or etc for queries like:

query Sth {
    articlePages(locale: "ru") {
    data {
      id
    }
  }
}

Additionally I tried to do the next hack:

articlePage: {
  resolve: async (parent, args, ctx, info) => {
    info.cacheControl.setCacheHint({ maxAge: 60, scope: 'PRIVATE' })

But all responses don’t have any cache headers and query resolvers execute on each call.

How can I configure query caching properly?

Thanks in advance!

I found solution:

plugins: [ApolloServerPluginCacheControl({ defaultMaxAge: 60 }), responseCachePlugin()],

This approach requires to redefine ApolloServerPluginCacheControl with your defaultMaxAge ttl and responseCachePlugin for caching responses on backend side.

Hey <@177719232778338304> I’m trying to do the same, can you please share the full config file with all the plugins and options you used for Apollo server?

Would also love to see the config

Hey! It’s global config, if you want to make more flexible caching, you should inject your cache client into custom handlers.
