Our Multi-Tier Ingestion & Caching Pipeline

How we preserve accuracy and blazing speeds simultaneously

Zero Hallucination

TodayAround never invents or generates mock news. Every headline, temperature figure, and movie release is pulled directly from verified upstream providers.

In-Memory HotCache

Upstream responses are stored in high-speed in-memory caches with strictly bounded TTLs (6 to 15 min), shielding providers from traffic spikes while providing 20ms client response times.

Respectful Canonical Rights

We believe in supporting original creators. Every story preview routes users directly to the original publisher's canonical domain.
