The caching sections of the Services page appear after you set up the API configuration database.
What happens now
You decide whether to cache URL results using:
-
Redis (recommended) - Results are cached in the Redis database
-
Local process memory cache - Results are cached in the IIS process
If you choose Redis:
-
You must provide the server name, database number, and if necessary enabled admin connections
-
You can edit the connection string if the APIs are unable to connect to the server using the default port. However, this is not recommended.
Good to know
-
Redis is required for web API health diagnostics to work.
-
Both APIs will use the same caching system.
