Performance That Speaks for Itself
We ran a test using Siege with 100 concurrent users to an API endpoint with and without caching.
In this test, by using Medianova API caching, we were able to increase the Transaction Rate from 25.42 transactions per second to 194.93 transactions per second. This is a 666% improvement in performance.
Likewise, response time decreased from 3.66 sec to 0.51 sec making it 86% faster.
