 You can find the example of the Kubernetes manifest in the [example standalone deployment](static/kubernetes-deployment.yaml) or [example combined deployment](static/kubernetes-single-deployment.yaml) files. Observed advantage of multideployment is that it allows the network requests to travel via localhost, without leaving the deployment which brings quite significant network performance boost.

 **Important**: The cache key is calculated from the **request body + user context (user ID and role)**. This means:

+- Identical queries from different users are cached separately

-**🔒 Security Update (v0.27.0+)**: Cache keys now include user context by default to prevent security vulnerabilities where users could see each other's cached data. This is enabled by default and should NOT be disabled in multi-user applications.
+**Note on the security scope of this isolation**: By default, the proxy decodes the JWT payload for the user ID and role, but it does not verify the JWT signature. A cache hit also returns before the request reaches the upstream backend's own authorization check. Treat the user/role split in the cache key as isolation between honest clients, not as an authorization boundary, unless you enable signature verification. Do not rely on the unverified split alone to stop a forged token from reaching another user's cached data. Cache keys include user context by default; keep this enabled in multi-user applications.
+
+**Verifying the JWT signature**: Set `JWT_VERIFY_SIGNATURE=true` and configure exactly one key source: `JWT_SECRET`, `JWT_PUBLIC_KEY`, or `JWT_JWKS_URL`. The proxy then checks the token signature before it trusts any claim. It rejects a request that carries an invalid, expired, or algorithm-mismatched token with a `401` response. A request with no `Authorization` header still stays anonymous. It is not rejected. This setting is off by default, so an upgrade with no configuration change keeps today's behaviour. A misconfigured key source, such as zero or more than one of the three sources above, stops the proxy at startup instead of running half-configured.

+#### Cache Eviction Algorithms
+
+The proxy supports two cache eviction strategies:
+
+**Standard (default):** Uses Go's `sync.Map`. When memory limits are reached, the cache sorts live entries by expiry and evicts the oldest-expiry entries first. This is memory-efficient and has excellent concurrent read performance.
+
+**LRU (Least Recently Used):** Uses a proper LRU algorithm with a linked list to track access order. When limits are reached, the least recently accessed entries are evicted first. Enable with `CACHE_USE_LRU=true`.
+
+| Feature | Standard | LRU |
+|---------|----------|-----|
+| Eviction order | Oldest-expiry-first (sorted) | Least recently used |
+| Read performance | Excellent | Good |
+| Memory tracking | Approximate | Approximate |
+| Best for | High read throughput | Cache hit optimization |

+GMP_CACHE_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE=200
+GMP_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES=5000

 #### Read-only endpoint
 
 You can now specify the read-only GraphQL endpoint by setting the `HOST_GRAPHQL_READONLY` environment variable. The default value is empty, preventing the proxy from using the read-only endpoint for the queries and directing all the requests to the main endpoint specified as `HOST_GRAPHQL`. If the `HOST_GRAPHQL_READONLY` is set, the proxy will use the read-only endpoint for the queries with the `query` type and the main endpoint for the `mutation` type queries.

 With the `PURGE_METRICS_ON_CRAWL` enabled, the `graphql_proxy_requests_failed`, `graphql_proxy_requests_skipped` and `graphql_proxy_requests_succesful` metrics will remain between resets.
 
-If you prefer more control over the metrics purging - you can enable `PURGE_METRICS_ON_TIMER` environment variable and set the interval in seconds. This will allow you to purge the metrics on a regular basis, for example every 90 seconds. It could be better solution if you have multiple crawlers checking the metrics endpoints and you want to avoid the situation when metrics are purged by for example healthcheck.
+`PURGE_METRICS_ON_TIMER` purges metrics on a regular basis and defaults to `1800` seconds (about 30 minutes). Set it to a different number of seconds, for example `90`, to change the interval, or to `0` to disable timer-based purging. This can be a better solution than `PURGE_METRICS_ON_CRAWL` if you have multiple crawlers checking the metrics endpoint and you want to avoid the situation where metrics are purged by, for example, a healthcheck.
 
 #### Healthcheck
 
 If you'd like the `/healthz` endpoint to perform actual check for the connectivity to the graphql endpoint - set the `HEALTHCHECK_GRAPHQL_URL` environment variable to the exact URL of the graphql endpoint. The query executed will be `query { __typename }` and if the response is not `200 OK` - the healthcheck will fail. Remember that the endpoint is a full URL which you'd like to check, so it should include the protocol, host and path - for example `http://localhost:8080/v1/graphql` and it's NOT the same as value of `HOST_GRAPHQL` environment variable which should provide only the host, without path, ending with slash.
 
+`BACKEND_HEALTHCHECK_URL` controls a separate check: the backend health manager's startup and periodic probes. Set it to an unauthenticated readiness endpoint, for example `http://127.0.0.1:8080/ready`. The manager sends `GET` to the supplied path and query, without a GraphQL body or authentication headers. Any 2xx response is healthy; network errors, timeouts, and other status codes are unhealthy. The request timeout remains five seconds, and redirects are not followed.
+
+When this variable is empty, the manager continues to send an unauthenticated `POST` containing `{"query":"{__typename}"}` to `HOST_GRAPHQL`. It preserves a supplied path, or appends `/v1/graphql` when there is no path beyond `/`. A configured readiness URL must use HTTP or HTTPS with a nonempty host and no userinfo or fragment. Invalid configuration stops startup; it does not fall back to GraphQL. Do not put secrets in the URL: probe targets are logged.
+
+This setting does not change `HEALTHCHECK_GRAPHQL_URL`, the API `/healthz` check, GraphQL authorization, or headers on forwarded client requests. Keep the GraphQL endpoint protected; only the readiness endpoint must accept these unauthenticated probes.
+
 #### Monitoring endpoint

+The `executed_query` and `timed_query` metrics carry only the `{op_type, cached}` label set. The previous `user_id` and `op_name` labels were removed to bound Prometheus cardinality (per-user and per-operation-name labels caused unbounded series growth).
