Is request latency a problem when you develop your mobile app?

Hello guys!

I've got a few questions towards mobile apps developers.

Is the performance of your app requests an issue? More specifically, how is the response time when you have to query a database in your server-side?
If so, have you implemented any cache solutions? Which ones?
What would you think about a REST API providing a high-performance cache 'as-a-service' offering? (serverless, all your app would do is a single API call)

Our team is playing around this idea, but we are not quite sure it is relevant enough to build a product for it.

Any input is highly appreciated. I can provide further details if you want to discuss this.
