recommended way to Cache responses from Kong?

[maestr0]

What is the recommended way to cache responses from Kong?
Does Kong support response caching? Is there any production ready plugin which can do it?

I could probably use Varnish in front of Kong, but I'm looking for a solution I could control from my Kong cluster directly.

Kong architecture diagram shows Caching as one of the features. How is this supposed to work?

Currently we recommend leveraging the underlying nginx server to achieve this, with the proxy_cache directive (you will need to manually change the nginx property into kong.yml). A more Kong-esque way of doing this would be to create a caching plugin, like #411 and #412 suggest.

I will close as duplicate of the mentioned issues.

Hi guys,
so, I'm trying to configure caching with kong.yml as suggested by @thefosk
Nginx configurations added are:

proxy_cache_path /etc/nginx/cache/getuser keys_zone=getuser:5m;
proxy_cache_path /etc/nginx/cache/pasauth keys_zone=pasauth:5m;
proxy_cache_methods GET HEAD POST;

beginner question: how do I configure my route/service to use those directives?
