Idk I was surprised to notice that /api/validPetPoses wasn't cached by the Vercel CDN… but I guess that makes sense, because it's only allowed to be an hour old, and client caches hold onto it, so I suppose it makes sense for the CDN cache to not bother.
But in practice, that means users loading the site are pretty _likely_ to see /api/validPetPoses taking its full load time, which can be up to 500ms.
So, I'm offering this additional cache hint, to be willing to serve /api/validPetPose responses up to a week old while reloading the latest data. My hope is that the cache algorithm is much more excited about holding onto that, and that it makes the 500ms delay very _rare_ in practice!
I'm learning that top-level traces should use operation_name as well as name, because name is the low-level thing that every trace gets (including child traces like db queries and net requests)!
Also there was an incorrect label in one of these, and validPetPoses was missing it altogether
