GraphPilot
GraphQL edge cache that purges by entity
About
GraphPilot is a GraphQL edge cache that reduces latency and origin load by caching responses at the edge. It uses your GraphQL schema to drive caching and automatically purges cached entities when mutations occur. The solution works without replacing your existing server or gateway, letting you add performance optimization with minimal changes.
The case
Who it is for
Backend engineers and API architects building GraphQL services who need to reduce latency and origin load without altering their existing server or gateway.
What is broken today
GraphQL APIs often suffer from high latency because every request must hit the origin server. Traditional caching solutions require manual invalidation or change the existing server architecture, making it hard to maintain consistency and performance.
What it does about it
GraphPilot implements a schema-driven edge cache that stores query responses at the CDN edge. When a mutation occurs, the system automatically purges cached entities related to the affected data, ensuring fresh responses without manual intervention.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike generic caching layers that rely on URL or query string, GraphPilot purges by entity based on the GraphQL schema. It also integrates with mutation‑aware invalidation, eliminating stale data while keeping the existing server untouched.
