Yes. Browse Nodes are essentially product categories. So, users search for the same set of categories. There are ~40K browse nodes in each Amazon domain and we have cached most of them already [1]. So, the cache miss is unlikely here.
But, product cache is little complex. We have already cached the top products [2]. But, products are added every day. So, there will be some amount of cache miss there.

- gitgud 8y agoAh I see now, so you guys have pre-fetched most of Amazon and are providing a less restricted API to the cached content. Is that permitted in the Terms and Service of the Amazon API? Anyway great idea, would make a lot of developers lives easier!
- BrowseNodes 8y agoThanks! Amazon TOS allows caching. But, not sure if there is any specific restriction on shared cache.
