How to implement Caching?

[dinhkhanh]

I'm considering PayloadCMS for my next projects.
Reading through the documents, with some research, I can't find anything related to Caching.

So, is there any built-in caching in Payload? Or, is there any plugin for caching? Or, how to create a plugin, or implement caching for Payload?

By caching, I mean DB queries cache. And I'd like to use Redis.

Perhaps something like this could work - https://dev.to/ahmedmagdy11/building-cache-layer-using-redis-and-mongoose-11kb

where you override the exec function in Mongoose. Albeit, this is hacky but should be do-able.

I suggest to cache the responses from the PayloadCMS internal API.

So here's what we did:

• An express middleware that return cached responses from REDIS (It has to be added before PayloadCMS routes)
• Custom express controllers that store the response from the payload internal API
• Drop the REDIS cache using a custom collection hook (afterChange)

We have just published a new package on Npm

Thank you. I'll check it out now.

A new version with excludedCollections has just been released.

Is it still being maintained @sangallimarco ? See it's been a while without updates.

Hey @sangallimarco any updates planned for v3 ?

This is old but I'd like to bump it! We run a fairly high traffic site and our AWS costs are about 5x higher than we expected when we first started down the Payload path.

@ssyberg I was doing some digging and stumbled on a plugin someone made for redis caching.

This does not work for v3

Did any of you guys try caching on Nginx?
With an identical request, you can create a regular nginx proxy cache, depending on whether you repeatedly use similar filters.

For v3, there is now a discussion here: #9909.
