IMPROVE PERFORMANCE WITH PROXY CACHING

Introduction

Plugin allows you to cache HTTP responses, reducing load on upstream resources.

This plugin provides a reverse proxy cache implementation for Kong. It caches response entities based on configurable response code and content type, as well as request method. It can cache per-Consumer, per-Service, or per-Route. Cache entities are stored for a configurable period of time, after which subsequent requests to the same resource will re-fetch and re-store the resource. Cache entities can also be forcefully purged via the Admin API prior to their expiration time.

1. Verify that requests to a Service are cached in Kong
