Apigee caching

[rtrahul1992]

How can we access cache response after the cache store time is over?

I guess we cannot access cache elements after they get expired.

When cache TTL expires, cache elements are ejected/removed/deleted from the cache automatically.

What is your usecase to access expired cache entries?

May be caching is not the right way to handle your data if you want to access after expiry.

I am storing cache for 5 mins, after that response will be fetched from backed , But in case backend is not available within 24 hours response should be populated from the cache itself.

I guess cache is not the right solution for your use-case. You need to have fallback targets/backends to handle any failures.

If you have multiple servers/backends, using APigee's loadbalancing and fallback options on Target side,
