CircleCI does not support checks for existence of a cache key without restoring the full cache. Save a tiny key in parallel with the cache to allow bailing out faster if the cache already exists. More documentation on the approach and the code I started from (thanks TzookB!) is here: https://tzookb.com/circleci-project-deepdive
commands:
halt_if_cache_exists:
description: Halt a build if a cache already exists, without downloading the entire cache. Match only exact key. Pair with mark_cache_existence.
parameters:
category:
description: friendly name of the sort of cache (e.g. bundle, src)
type: string
key:
description: hash key where underlying data would be stored

Debounced fetching to reduce number of requests when doing API proxying through GraphQL

Simple implementation of debounced fetching in GraphQL to allow merging of multiple rest / database requests into one. Although this example uses GraphQL, the debouncedFetch / fetchProgramPlaycount implementations could probably be used in any context to achieve the same result.

This approach was first described by @leebyron at graphql/graphql-js#19 (comment)

For example this allows turning ten requests for playcounts from this GraphQL query into just one:

{
  latestPrograms(first: 10) {
    name,

playcount
