  • The set detail page loads roughly 100× faster — from 18 to 27 seconds per visit down to under 100 milliseconds.

Resolved1 entry

  • A long-standing performance problem on /sets/{set_code}: the previous version was paginating Scryfall live three times per visit. The new version reads from a local cache kept current by a background daemon.
Notes from the Archivist

Same shape of fix as a few releases earlier. The pattern keeps recurring: any code that makes external API calls during a page request is a latent outage. The discipline is to push that work to background daemons and read from local caches on the request path.
