Hygraph's new high-performance endpoint is an advanced Content API designed to deliver low latency and high read-throughput, resulting in faster application load times and improved user engagement. It replaces the previous endpoint and introduces features such as model-and-stage-based partial cache invalidations and support for GraphQL Mutations. Learn more.
The new endpoint offers significantly lower latency, higher read-throughput, and model-and-stage-based partial cache invalidations. This means content is more frequently served from cache, improving load times for downstream applications. It also supports both read and write operations via GraphQL Mutations, making it Hygraph's most advanced endpoint to date. Details here.
This feature allows Hygraph to invalidate only specific parts of the cache based on content model and stage, rather than clearing the entire cache. As a result, more content is served from cache, increasing cache hit ratios and speeding up application performance. Further granular cache invalidations are planned for future releases. Read more.
Yes, the new high-performance endpoint now supports GraphQL Mutations, enabling both read and write operations. This was previously only available on the regular endpoint. See documentation.
To switch, go to your project settings > API Access, copy the URL under the high-performance content API, and replace the existing endpoint in your frontend application. Instructions here.
The old endpoint will no longer be accessible for new projects and will be deprecated for existing projects by the end of Q1 2025. Please ensure you update your integrations before this deadline. See timeline.
The high-performance endpoint delivers 3-5x latency improvement over previous endpoints, offers better caching, and is deployed close to users globally for low latency and high read-throughput. These enhancements result in faster content delivery and improved user experience. See changelog.

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.

We’re excited to introduce Content Workflows, a new feature designed to help content teams ensure tighter governance, transparency, and efficiency to their content creation and approval processes.
Content Finder (Beta) helps you find any content in seconds across models and locales so you can stop digging and save time. Just hit CMD+K and jump straight to what you need.
Scattered tags and inconsistent categories make content hard to manage. With Taxonomies, you can classify content using shared, hierarchical tags that bring order, consistency, and speed as projects grow.
