Overview
Omni API is a high-performance search API built to demonstrate ultra-fast query processing using modern serverless and edge computing technologies. The system is optimized for minimal latency by leveraging Cloudflare Workers (edge runtime) along with Redis caching and PostgreSQL queries.
It provides multiple search strategies to compare performance across caching and database layers.
Key Features
Core Functionalities
- Ultra-fast Search API: Optimized for low-latency responses
- Dual Data Sources:
- ⚡ Redis (Upstash) → Fast cached responses
- 🗄️ PostgreSQL (Neon DB) → Persistent data queries
- Edge Deployment: Runs on Cloudflare Workers for global speed
- Minimal Latency: Designed for fast response times
- Scalable Architecture: Serverless and horizontally scalable
