runtime-cache

To cache API responses in Vercel serverless functions, use the runtime-cache Skill which provides an ephemeral per-region key-value store. It utilizes the getCache() function from @vercel/functions to store computed data and reduce database load.

Ephemeral per-region caching is a key-value store provided by runtime-cache that ensures data isolation and optimized performance for specific regions. It acts as a serverless-native Redis alternative for Vercel Functions and Routing Middleware.

Yes, you need @vercel/functions to use runtime-cache because it is a required dependency. The Skill relies on this package to access the getCache() function for storing data with TTL and tags in Vercel Functions, Middleware, and Builds.

Yes, Vercel ephemeral cache supports tag-based invalidation through the runtime-cache Skill. This mechanism enables granular cache control by allowing you to assign tags to stored data for efficient and targeted invalidation.

The best way to invalidate cached data in serverless functions is using tag-based invalidation. The runtime-cache Skill allows you to group cached API responses and computed data with tags, enabling efficient and granular cache clearing.

Yes, you can use runtime-cache as a serverless-native Redis alternative for Vercel builds. It provides an ephemeral per-region key-value cache designed to handle data retrieval efficiently throughout the Vercel ecosystem.
