# Example

services:
  - name: MY_REST_API
    tags: [_NS_]
    plugins:
      - name: proxy-cache
        tags: [_NS_]
        config:
          response_code:
            - 200
          request_method:
            - GET
            - HEAD
          content_type:
            - text/html
            - text/css
            - application/javascript
          cache_ttl: 30
          # vary_headers:
          #   - header_1
          # vary_query_params:
          #   - param_1
          # strategy: memory
          # memory:
          #   dictionary_name: proxy_content_cache

cache_ttl : We only allow this value to be between 15 and 60 seconds

The strategy and memory.dictionary_name will be set automatically and can not be overridden.

vary_headers : Relevant request headers considered for the cache key. If undefined, none of the headers are taken into consideration.

vary_query_params : Relevant query parameters considered for the cache key. If undefined, all params are taken into consideration.

The dictionary_name is capped at 1Mi to be shared across all services. Recommended practice is to use the cache for targeted files to produce the greatest improvement on overall performance of your application.
