Speeding up APIs with Ricochet for API Gateway

What this post added

Introduced Ricochet for API Gateway, a feature that enables intelligent caching of API requests, including previously un-cacheable types like GraphQL POST requests. Ricochet automatically reduces average latency by caching API requests that would otherwise go to origin, without requiring origin changes. It uses API session identifiers or hashes of request parameters to construct secure cache keys, ensuring data privacy. The feature also automatically invalidates cache entries when non-safe HTTP methods (POST, PUT, DELETE) are used for a RESTful endpoint managed by API Gateway.
