Frequently Asked Questions

Why wouldn't I just build my own cache?

Good question! Cache Horse is for situations when rolling your own is not how you want to (or can) spend your time. We built Cache Horse to solve this very problem for ourselves in several other projects.

We made many enhancements to make sure that the requests are as fast and efficient as possible.

What is exclusive storage? Can other people see my cached requests?

Those under the free tier have their requests stored in a shared pool. This means that if you request example.com/test and another free tier developer requests the same resource, they will get the result already cached by you.

All paid plans have exclusive storage, meaning your request will never be accessible by any other accounts.

Is Cache Horse fast?

Yes! We use a number of techniques to speed up both the ingress (requests to 3rd party APIs we make on your behalf) and egress (requests you make to our API) requests.

Obviously, requests we serve that come from our cache will always be faster.

I'm a student or a teacher wanting to use Cache Horse for an academic project...

We got you. We want to support the next generation and give back. You can use our paid 'Pro' plan for free.

Please reach out to hi [at] cache.horse and we'll be happy to get you set up.
