@bod do we have any target ETA for releasing the incubating cache back into production? You've made a lot of great changes that seem to be getting closer and closer to ready. I also noticed some work around migration which I assumed was part of the hold-up.

Great question! It is indeed getting closer and closer. Spoiler alert, in the next few days we plan on removing "incubating" from the name of the library (while keeping a 0.x version or maybe moving to -alpha for now) as a signal that we really encourage people to try it.

I believe the API still needs some ironing out before we call it stable.

Of course there's a bit of a classic chicken-and-egg issue where people are hesitant to try the lib when it's not stable yet / whereas we're hesitant to call it stable when we don't have a lot users or feedback 🙂

If you have some time to try it and tell us if it works well for you that would be super appreciated!

I've used it in some internal test cases, works pretty well. I think the area I still hesitate about is where we store the merging of edges while paginating - which I think is in the records first operation response iirc. We have some sparse pagination use cases where we might want to collect data across different segments of a larger list

That's great to hear!

Re: pagination - interesting. If you have more details, don't hesitate to open a ticket there, as there are probably use-cases we didn't think of!
