GraphQL cache

This plugin normalizes and caches frequently requested graphql query responses to prevent overloading the server and offers additional benefits like:

• Distributed caching for improved scalability and reliability of web applications
• TTL-based cache expiration and automatic cleanup to ensure freshness of content.
• Metrics for observation and monitoring
