Hello Everyone,

I’ve learned that I can use ETS tables as a basic cache mechanism to expedite data queries in Elixir and Phoenix. And, other more advanced solutions (CacheX, ConCache) use ETS under the hood. However, what about if I’m using Absinthe to build a GraphQL API? None of the tutorials I’ve seen talk about caching. They just show you how to connect Absinthe to Ecto and a database.

Is there a way to tell Absinthe to read from ETS, or another cache? Should I use one of Absinthe plugins to help me with that?

Please notice that I’d like to be able to load specific data in memory. So, even if Absinthe has some kind of internal cache, that won’t help in this case.

Thank you
