Server side query caching with TanStack Start and Query
Is it possible to cache an api call on the server side using TanStack Query and Start?
Example: my API provide an endpoint that returns a list of states given a country code. This list will not change during the application lifecycle, and don't have any problem if shared by all users.

I don't think Start really does this besides messing with cache-age headers. Nextjs has some of this I think.
By states you mean US states, German Lander, Canadian provinces, Irish counties etc?

For those top-level administrative units, I'd just have a query function for each country with a stale and gcTime of a week. It feel like having a few thousand of those units client side isn't the most beneficial. On the server side you might be able to configure cloudflare to cache those responses in a CDN or something.

I would like to have it cached on the server side with the framework itself. I can do it by creating a cache manualy, but I expected to have it with TanStack query.
OK. It was not exactly what I was expecting, but helps a bit.
