Makes sense thank you also default ttl is not mentioned, and cacheEverything is not really explained. what is the default ttl and what does cacheEverything do exactly? doesnt default cache behaviour already cache everything ? and is cacheTtlByStatus mandatory? as i dont think anyone wants to cache a 400-500 status response
