Cached GET Response

I’ve been using Next mostly on the front-end side until now, and I wasn’t prepared for this 🤯 It wasn’t long until I realized my GET endpoints were always returning the same data for some reason. And it turns out it’s documented that Route Handlers are cached by default when using the GET method with the Response object. There are some weird hacks like using cookies and headers, but that’s just too much.

note: this has changed since then
