Instant Queries

Load eligible workspaces faster from a shared server cache.

Instant Queries keeps an eligible workspace ready in a shared server cache. Blue manages this cache automatically.

How caching works

Blue stores one shared workspace snapshot. When a person loads the workspace, Blue applies that person’s access rules before it returns records.

If the snapshot is unavailable or cannot safely answer the request, Blue uses the live database path. The workspace still loads normally.

Where it applies

Instant Queries applies to eligible workspace loads in the Blue web application. GraphQL API, CLI, SDK, and MCP requests use the live database path.

Blue always uses the live data path for writes. These writes include creating, updating, or deleting records and posting comments.

Cache invalidation

Blue records each content or permission change. It updates the affected snapshot in the background and does not serve a snapshot when its version is old.

Behavior

  • Blue enables and manages Instant Queries automatically for eligible organizations.
  • Cache hits and misses return the same records and permissions.
  • A cache problem falls back to the live database path.
