Then your concern is about caching? Layr is a solution for building web apps, not websites. Caching backend responses at the HTTP level is essential for websites but not so useful for web apps. Layr might support ETags in the future, but it is not something on the priority list.

There are various use cases where Caching is implemented at the API level, like metadata which does not change too often. These are usually cached at API level and returned to clients with out hitting database to fetch the metadata. Do Layr support this?

Not yet but this may be implemented in the future.
