Enlist the Help of Your Schema for Caching!

Talkat GraphQL Galaxy 2021 · 2021-12-09..12-10· [graphql, web-performance]

Based on GraphCDN operational experience the talk gives concrete schema rules that materially improve caching: prefer id or _id fields and configure them as key fields so normalized clients (Apollo, Relay) and GraphCDN find and purge objects; enforce globally unique IDs like UUIDs; avoid duplicate types and instead add transient metadata via the cursor connection pattern; make a schema-aware cache to enable partial results and fragment handling; and when using document caches split queries into public and private so shared responses are reusable.
