Frequently Asked Questions

Will this require changes to my existing APIs?

No. Our middleware sits transparently between clients and your existing APIs, requiring no changes to backend code.

How does caching handle data consistency?

Our smart invalidation system ensures cached data is always consistent with your source of truth, with configurable TTL strategies.

Can this work with GraphQL APIs?

Yes. Our middleware includes specialized GraphQL optimization including query parsing, response caching, and field-level invalidation.

What happens if the middleware fails?

Our fail-safe design automatically bypasses the middleware if it becomes unavailable, ensuring your APIs remain accessible at all times.
