 Integration with Varnish and the Doctrine ORM is shipped with the core library. You can easily implement the support for
 any other proxy or persistence system.
 
+### Extending Cache-Tags for invalidation
+
+Sometimes you need individual resources like `/me`. To work properly with Varnish, the cache tags need to be augmented with these resources. Here is an example how this can be done:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace AppBundle\EventSubscriber;
+
+use ApiPlatform\Core\EventListener\EventPriorities;
+use AppBundle\Entity\User;
+use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
+use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
+use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents;
+
+final class UserResourcesSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
+{
+    public static function getSubscribedEvents()
+    {
+        return [
+            KernelEvents::REQUEST => ['extendResources', EventPriorities::PRE_READ],
+            KernelEvents::REQUEST => ['extendResources', EventPriorities::POST_READ]
+        ];
+    }
+
+    public function extendResources(GetResponseEvent $event)
+    {
+        $class = $event->getRequest()->attributes->get('_api_resource_class');
+        $request = $event->getRequest();
+
+        if ($class === User::class) {
+            $resources = [
+                '/me'
+            ];
+
+            $request->attributes->set('_resources', $request->attributes->get('_resources', []) + (array)$resources);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```

 ## Enabling the Metadata Cache
 
 Computing metadata used by the bundle is a costly operation. Fortunately, metadata can be computed once and then cached.
