Increase performance with Webhook Auth Caching

What's this blog post about?

Hasura introduces Webhook Auth Caching, a new enhancement that optimizes the performance of webhook-based authentication mode. This feature saves network round-trip time and reduces load on the authentication infrastructure, enabling it to scale effortlessly as user base grows. Webhook Auth Caching not only enhances security but also improves application performance by reducing the number of webhook calls required for each GraphQL query execution. By caching the webhook auth response in Hasura, subsequent requests with the same token do not require additional webhook requests for a given period of time. This results in increased GraphQL query performance and reduced load on the auth service.
