Response cache on Elastic Beanstalk

I have an API hosted on Elastic Beanstalk written in Node.js using nginx. I don't need an in-memory cache like ElasticCache provides. I just need the server to cache on disk the response when calls to my API are made. The reason is because the calls in my API make calls to a third-party API and they are expensive. The response from the third-parties are big in terms of file size.

Could you please help me figure out how I'd do it or if it's even possible?

Thanks.

You could use beanstalk .config files to configure NGINX caching, see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customize-containers.html http://nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/caching/

But it would probably be a better ideia to use CloudFront to cache content on the 50+ edge locations used by this service, thus requests that can be responded by the cache would not even hit your server.
