Accelerating a Simple REST API with Aproxymade 🚀
In this video, we use a simple task manager app to show a use case for Aproxymade and how it can speed up everyday REST APIs.

Hi, I’m Markus, the founder of Aproxymade.
As we prepare for the Mission KI Demo Day on 9th of October, I want to share a simple example that shows how Aproxymade can accelerate everyday REST APIs. Aproxymade is not limited to your own APIs and could also optimize a third-party API that you consume.
The Problem
Imagine a task manager app:
- Different users
- Each with their own TODO items
- Data stored on a central server
Every action in the app requires a REST API call. You can see and feel the performance issues: requests are slow, latency stacks up, and optimization would normally take weeks of work.
So what are your options?
- Live with poor performance.
- Spend a lot of effort on optimization, pre-fetching, or custom caching.
- Or: use Aproxymade to automatically analyze and cache your API.
The Solution: Aproxymade
To use Aproxymade, you simply have to change the URL your API calls go to. That’s it — one line of code.
- We currently run on Cloudflare’s fast edge computing infrastructure which means almost zero overhead, even less if you’re already using Cloudflare.
- All API calls first pass through Aproxymade, which forwards them to your API.
- Meanwhile, we analyze the traffic, provide performance insights, and suggest caching strategies.
By default, caching is disabled to keep your business logic intact. But you can enable it with a single click.
The Magic: Dynamic Caching
- On first load: performance is unchanged.
- As the cache fills: your app becomes blazingly fast.
- On updates: Aproxymade handles cache invalidation dynamically.
As Phil Karlton famously said:
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
We assist with the first one for you. And if you need, you can still fine-tune caching rules manually.
