    Woah, I had the same idea not so long ago. Right now I'm using GraphCDN but would much rather cache at the database level. Looks like this could be a drop in for lots of people already on Postgres & MySQL (meaning no more dog-slow Rails apps). There was a cool article about intercepting the Postgres connection with Elixir not long ago: https://docs.statetrace.com/blog/build-a-postgres-proxy/
