Router Performance Optimization

Caching

In-Memory Caching

Use in-memory LRU cache for generated query plans and automatic persisted queries (APQ).

Go to In-Memory Caching

Distributed Caching

Share Redis-backed cache between router instances.

Go to Distributed Caching

Entity-Based Caching

Reuse cached entity-based subgraph responses to improve query latency.
