WPGraphQL Smart Cache with Jason Bahl
Manage episode 351816030 series 3294606
In this episode, Fran and Jeff catch up with Jason Bahl, the creator of WPGraphQL to discuss a new caching extension for WPGraphQL. Jason is a figure in the headless WordPress ecosystem that likely needs no introduction, but the group discusses some of their early experiences with headless WordPress.
WPGraphQL Smart Cache makes a user's GraphQL queries more efficient by providing network and object caching layer options for users using the plugin. Jason explains a ton of interesting technical details about the caching implementations. He digs into the following things:
- Using GET/POST requests with network requests
- How cache invalidation works in this plugin in a nuanced way
- How Smart Cache can work with framework rendering patterns
- What other hosting companies can do to enable WPGraphQL Smart Cache on their platform
- How object caching works in the plugin if you can't integrate with a network hosting layer
- How a new feature called persisted queries allows you to store your queries on the server, like a SQL stored procedure
- Considerations for people using plugins or extensions to store custom data
Check out the plugin in WordPress plugin repository and leave the WPGraphQL team some feedback or a review: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpgraphql-smart-cache/
