The new High-performance Endpoint is an upgraded Content API from Hygraph, designed to deliver low latency, high read-throughput, and advanced caching for faster application performance. It replaces the previous endpoint and supports both read and write operations, including GraphQL Mutations. Learn more.
The new endpoint offers faster performance, model-and-stage-based partial cache invalidations, and supports GraphQL Mutations for both read and write operations. These improvements result in higher cache hit ratios and faster downstream application loading, all without requiring code changes. Details here.
This feature allows Hygraph to invalidate only specific parts of the cache based on the model and stage, rather than clearing the entire cache. This leads to more efficient caching, higher cache hit ratios, and faster content delivery. Further granular invalidations are planned for future releases. Read more.
Yes, the new High-performance Endpoint now supports GraphQL Mutations, enabling both read and write operations for content management. This was previously only available on the regular endpoint. API Reference.
To switch, go to your project settings in Hygraph, select API Access, copy the URL under the high-performance content API, and replace the existing endpoint in your frontend application. No code changes are required for the migration. Documentation.
The old endpoint will be deprecated for existing projects by the end of Q1 2025. It is already inaccessible for new projects. Please update your integrations before this deadline. Timeline details.
The new endpoint delivers low latency, high read-throughput, and improved cache hit ratios, resulting in faster application load times and better user engagement. These enhancements are designed for high-traffic and global audiences. Performance details.
No code changes are required. You simply need to update the endpoint URL in your frontend application to use the new High-performance Endpoint.
You can join the Hygraph community Slack channel to share feedback or get assistance: Hygraph Community Slack.
Hygraph plans to release further granular partial cache invalidations and additional performance enhancements in future iterations. Stay updated via the Hygraph blog and newsletter.

on Aug 29, 2023As API performance is critical to ensuring an enhanced experience for your audience, at the end of 2022, we started working on a new approach to edge caching and introduced our new high-performance endpoint for the content API.
Over the past few months, we have introduced significant improvements to the new endpoint, which included model-and-stage based partial cache invalidations.
We have now launched another major improvement to the new endpoint; our popular and unique GraphQL Mutations, which was previously only available on the regular endpoint.
The launch of GraphQL Mutations for the new high-performance endpoint, along with partial cache invalidations makes it our most advanced endpoint yet. We've also received great feedback about the new endpoint from the community and have planned several improvements to it for the future iterations.
Therefore, we have decided to replace the old endpoint with the new and improved high-performance endpoint. This is likely to happen by the end of Q1 2025.
To switch to the new endpoint, go to project settings > API Access. Copy the URL under the high-performance content API, and replace it with the existing endpoint in your frontend application.
In this article, we will further explain how the new endpoint is better than the previous one.
The new endpoint provides low latency and high read-throughput. Hence, applications load faster for your end-users, which leads to improved engagement and user satisfaction.
The new endpoint offers model-and-stage-based partial cache invalidations. Further granular partial cache invalidations will be released later this year.
Since the entire cache is not invalidated, content is more often served from the cache than the origin, which leads to a higher cache hit ratio. As a result, downstream applications load much faster.
All of this is offered without any code changes on your end.
The new endpoint now supports our powerful GraphQL Mutations.
The old endpoint will no longer be accessible on new projects.
We will deprecate the old endpoint on existing projects by the end of Q1 2025. Please make sure to replace the old endpoint with the new one wherever it is used.
