FFJ (Data Center) - Caching

The Figma API imposes rate limiting with regards to fetching Figma designs. The rate limiting could have a negative effect (designs not loading or loading very slow) on the performance & user experience of the Figma for Jira Pro App. With this in mind we implemented the caching feature.

This feature can be configured on the caching page which can be found by navigating to Jira Administration > Manage Apps > Figma for Jira > Caching

On this page you can control the maximum number of items stored in cache, as well as the time to live (TTL) using the timeout (in minutes). It also allows you to control the expiration policy, which will determine if an item is evicted after it is written to cache or after it has last been accessed.

As configuring the caching may impact the overall performance of your system, both in terms of memory and CPU consumptions, please make sure to adjust the settings to your needs & systems capabilities.
