How it works

Learn how Sora-QL retrieves, processes, and caches anime data using Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and the MyAnimeList API.
The user sends a request to Sora-graphql to get anime data.
The GraphQL API first checks if the requested data is in the cache. If the data is found, it is immediately returned to the user.
If the data is not in the cache, Sora-graphql sends a request to Sora-parser. If the data is found in the cache or in the Sora-parser databases, it is transferred to Sora-graphql, which sends it to the user.
If the data is not in the cache or in MySQL / MongoDb, the GraphQL API sends a request to the MyAnimeList API.
The received data undergoes machine translation, formatting and structuring. on the part of Sora-parser
After processing, the data is written to MySQL / Mongodb (if the data is static, for example, a list of genres or studios) and to Redis (for faster access).
After all checks and processing, Sora-parser sends the data to the GraphQL API, which saves it in its cache and sends it to the user.
