acidseed

An API cache layer implemented in Node.js > 0.12 and Redis.

Why you may want to use it

You want to cache the result of your API call at yourservice.io/api/users/123.

How you use it

• Deploy acidseed where you want (say cache.yourservice.io).
• Start it passing a port (default is 8181) and a redis url (default is redis://localhost:6379):

$ PORT=8383 REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379" node --harmony server.js

• Instead of calling yourservice.io/api/users/123, call

cache.yourservice.io?apiUrl=yourservice.io%2Fapi%2Fusers%2F123

(always encode the url)

Want to skip the cache? (useful if you want to give your user the ability to check the result in real time)

cache.yourservice.io?apiUrl=yourservice.io%2Fapi%2Fusers%2F123&noCache=true

Note: the service will only cache responses with HTTP status code === 200;
