(For a minute though I feared they pivoted into block chain and crypto though - somehow my mind made a connection for the new name there :shrug:)
"Given that the Bitcoin blockchain only produces new blocks once about every 10 minutes, Gamma’s data also changes at most every 10 minutes — making it an ideal use case for caching.
Thomas added Gamma’s GraphQL edge cache in front of Gamma’s Hasura GraphQL API, and immediately got an overall cache hit rate of 87%, which corresponds directly to a decrease in traffic to their Hasura instance.
Even better, their two most highly requested queries are sitting at a 97% and 92% cache hit rate, respectively"
blockchain use-case is just poor to say the least
Essentially, our GraphQL Edge Cache is similar to a GraphQL client. It looks at the request body with the query & the response with the typenames and tags the cached query result with all the objects contained within. E.g. a getBlogPost query that fetches the blog post and its author will be tagged with BlogPost#asdf123 and User#gjkd489. Then we can invalidate whenever those specific objects change.
aren’t you scared Fastly and Cloudflare will just clone your moat once they see some demand for a service like yours?
But looks like they will build more out of the box integrations.
I’ve signed up for many more services than I actually need/use, and even amongst ones I use, there are certainly some solving problems I don’t really have.
