Cloud Cache

Efficiently consume credits on IEX Cloud, without having to set up your own data storage infrastructure.

Included with paid plans starting February 16, 2021.

We're here to help you scale

Fully Managed

No servers to manage. No databases to purchase. Cloud Cache automates data storage, scaling, high availability, monitoring, and administration.

Move Faster

We manage the complexity of data infrastructure so you can focus on building for your users, rather than spending time on server setup or optimizing your credit usage.

Flexibility

Choose the right cache size to fit your cost and data requirements.

How it works

Full credit amount is charged only when data is not available in Cloud Cache or the data has changed, and so is fetched from the Cloud API. Each request that is available in Cloud Cache applies a credit weight of 1 for each unit, as opposed to the per unit weighting shown in our documentation under the "Data Weighting" header for an endpoint.

Batch queries count as 1 cache slot per symbol + type combination.
