You have a typo: "requests per second increase to approximately 25,567 at the 97.5th percentile."

This is for 50th percentile. For 97.5th percentile you actually have 26,191!

How to implement deduplication without using platformatic with Fastify. Is there any demo code to implement it with a route or controller?

[Melroy van den Berg](https://hashnode.com/@melroy89)

[Mar 18, 2024](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-to-make-your-nodejs-api-5x-faster-with-platformatic/653a4ec7a170ffcca0d38b93/comment/65dc7afd2e8d35e063a47b49#reply-65f79e633e29f61c5350cee6)

I guess implement the package yourself in your Fastify app: [github.com/mcollina/async-cache-dedupe](https://github.com/mcollina/async-cache-dedupe)

I guess just adding a cache behind each DB call? See some TS example code: [github.com/mcollina/async-cache-dedupe](https://github.com/mcollina/async-cache-dedupe?tab=readme-ov-file#typescript)

Here another example implementation: [github.com/Shyam-Chen/Fastify-Starter/blob/a17460…](https://github.com/Shyam-Chen/Fastify-Starter/blob/a1746035a40bf49d5d095b0b2c16cfa5e2493a40/app/src/routes/hello-world/caching-dedupe/%5Bid%5D-redis/%2Bhandler.ts#L4)

If you are more advanced... And understand the examples above.

You could also checkout the Platformatic code, if you want to see a template style of implementing it, thus it can be used in a very general way: [github.com/platformatic/platformatic/blob/b0cbad3…](https://github.com/platformatic/platformatic/blob/b0cbad33354dacf2f018ddf4d62bee4f412b420c/packages/sql-mapper/lib/cache.js#L2)

Then the `setupCache` method is used here: [github.com/platformatic/platformatic/blob/b0cbad3…](https://github.com/platformatic/platformatic/blob/b0cbad33354dacf2f018ddf4d62bee4f412b420c/packages/sql-mapper/mapper.js#L10)
