Hey guys, title could have been better, but I am basically trying to setup an XML product feed for my store, which has 20k+ products including variants, and it constantly grows and shrinks throughout each day. I want the feed to rerun every 15 minutes, and I want to host this on vercel. I am worried about serverles costs since this is a function, below is my code with my approach I am doing caching, is this the most efficient way to handle this to reduce costs in Vercel? Is serverless (vercel) hosting bad for this use case?
// app/api/product-feed/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { kv } from '@vercel/kv';
import { BigCommerceClient } from './bigcommerce-client';
import { generateXMLFeed } from './xml-generator';
const CACHE_KEY = 'product-feed-cache';
const CACHE_TTL = 15 * 60; // 15 minutes in seconds
export async function GET() {
try {
// Check cache first
const cachedFeed = await kv.get(CACHE_KEY);
if (cachedFeed) {
return new NextResponse(cachedFeed, {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/xml' },
});
}
// If not in cache, generate new feed
const client = new BigCommerceClient();
const products = await client.getAllProducts();
const xmlFeed = generateXMLFeed(products);
// Cache the new feed
await kv.set(CACHE_KEY, xmlFeed, { ex: CACHE_TTL });
return new NextResponse(xmlFeed, {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/xml' },
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error generating product feed:', error);
return new NextResponse('Error generating product feed', { status: 500 });
}
}
// Scheduled job to update cache (run every 15 minutes)
export async function POST() {
try {
const client = new BigCommerceClient();
const products = await client.getAllProducts();
const xmlFeed = generateXMLFeed(products);
await kv.set(CACHE_KEY, xmlFeed, { ex: CACHE_TTL });
return new NextResponse('Cache updated successfully', { status: 200 });
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error updating cache:', error);
return new NextResponse('Error updating cache', { status: 500 });
}
}
Then I would setup a cron job in vercel
