Caching an entire API route for 5 minutes
Hi everyone! I was wondering if my Next.js API route (using the app directory) can be cached using Vercel as a server-side layer.
So, for example, if my api route returns something like:
I would like to see the same date for 5 minutes.
As of right now I tried following this: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/revalidating#on-demand-revalidation
Which does seem to be working if I'm using fetch, but it doesn't if I put
export const revalidate = 60 in my API route.
Thank you in advance to anyone who's willing to help! Cheers.Data Fetching: Revalidating

Update: I just tried to return the header 'Cache-Control': 's-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate'
This seems to be working but only client-side. I would need exactly the same but also server side
