What is a cache? 🧵⚙️

A cache is an infrastructure component that temporarily stores frequently accessed data so that it can be served more quickly and efficiently.

When an API client makes a request, the server can check the cache to see if the requested data is already available.

If it is, the server can return the cached response directly to the client, without having to execute the full request again.

This approach significantly improves the performance of the API by reducing the number of requests that the server needs to process, which minimizes latency and improves scalability.

There are many types of cache implementations, such as in-memory caches, disk-based caches, or distributed caches.

They can also be configured with various caching policies— such as time-to-live (TTL), cache eviction, and cache invalidation—to ensure that the cached data remains fresh and up-to-date.

What is GraphQL? 👾🧵

GraphQL is an open source query language for APIs that was created by Facebook in 2012.

With GraphQL, clients interact with a single endpoint and specify the exact data they need, without having to chain multiple requests together.

This approach reduces the number of round trips between the client and the server, which can improve performance—especially on slow or unreliable network connections.

Best practices for creating API documentation 📄

#Thread below 🧵

✅Tell a compelling story

Every API plays a unique role in the software landscape of its producers and consumers, and API documentation tells this story. Readers should be able to learn who the API is meant for, how they can use it, and how it can help them achieve their goals.

This big picture provides important context for more technical implementation details, which can be useful as developers begin to understand the possibilities of a given API.
