Does this skill help with Perplexity API costs?

By implementing effective caching strategies, you significantly reduce the total number of calls made to the Perplexity API, directly lowering your operational costs.

How does this skill reduce Perplexity API latency?

It implements multi-layered caching (LRU and Redis) and connection pooling to eliminate redundant requests and minimize network handshake overhead.

What is the benefit of request batching for Perplexity?

Request batching groups multiple queries into efficient execution patterns, reducing the number of concurrent connections and managing API limits more effectively.

Can I use this with distributed systems?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for Redis-based distributed caching to maintain performance consistency across multiple server instances.
