Problem with NextJs 14 cache in production

Hi all, I'm experiencing inconsistent caching behavior in Next.js 14 between development and production environments.
Setup
- Next.js: 14 with App Router
- Build mode: Standalone
- CMS: Directus
- Cache strategy: Using tag-based caching on fetch calls and on-demand revalidation by Directus flow
In Development Mode cache works correctly - calls to Directus are only made when necessary.
In Production Mode, from Directus logs, I see API calls on every browser page refresh, despite cache should be active.
// Cache implementation example const directus = createDirectus(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL || '').with( rest({ onRequest: (options) => ({ ...options, next: { revalidate: 3600, tags: ['directus'], }, }), }), );
I also tried to use unstable_cache, works in DEV and not in PROD
Is this a known issue with Next.js 14 in standalone mode?
Does Next.js cache behave differently in production vs development?
Are there specific configurations needed to make cache work in standalone mode?
Thanks a tot!
