Response Cache Not Working?

[pxzxz1]

Hello @Anil Sagar @ Google and other fellow Apigeeks

How do I know if the response cache is working as the time executed is not constant. At times the time increased, sometimes decreased.

Well, there are few ways you can make sure that the cache is working, one visual way is you can look at the Transaction map and tell it is working,

In the map, you can see that when the cache is fetched from the policy then the backend is not invoked.

Apigee has two levels of cache L1 & L2. One is stored at MP level and other in DB level and hence the difference in timing.

Hello Siddharth

May I understand why your cache is not at the Response flow, instead both caches sit at Request flow?.

[sidd-harth]

It is in the Response flow,

Hello Siddharth

I'm unsure why I did not get the same as you. Can you share with me this file for me to have a look?

Hello Siddharth

Thanks for the file. Why did you place the Response Cache in the PostFlow at the Target Endpoint instead of Proxy Endpoint? What is the difference?
