GraphQLConf 2025

GraphQL provides flexibility in fetching data but this can prove challenging for caching. In this talk I cover the basics of caching in GraphQL such as layers you can cache at a high level. Layers such as the CDN, client side, server side, and database are touched upon with solutions from the community. The talk will also cover when to use each layer and what statistics to look at for improvement. I talk about how caching at multiple layers provides the best experience for the end user. By the end of this talk beginners will have a path forward to how they can cache at different layers for better performance.
