This post details an enhancement to our application's data aggregation process. We addressed an issue where total counts were inaccurate by switching from a local database to an external API for data retrieval, ensuring more reliable results.
Previously, our application relied on a local database table, populated with data from an events API,
When interacting with external APIs, especially those with rate limits, it's crucial to implement robust detection mechanisms to prevent service disruptions and ensure smooth operation. A recent adjustment in our application focused on refining the rate limit detection for the GitHub Search API, highlighting the importance of adaptable strategies.
Effective logging is crucial for monitoring and debugging applications, especially in multi-tenant environments. This post explores how to enhance application logging by incorporating tenant-specific context, enabling better isolation and analysis of log data.
In a multi-tenant system, logs from different tenants are often interleaved,
Developers often strive for efficiency, but sometimes, optimizing too early can lead to more problems than solutions.
Optimizing code before understanding its performance bottlenecks can waste time and introduce unnecessary complexity. It's tempting to micro-optimize, but it's crucial to identify the actual performance-critical sections first.
This article outlines an approach to enhance the resilience of data processing components when interacting with database tables, specifically addressing scenarios where tables might be temporarily unavailable or not yet provisioned in certain environments.
In dynamic environments, data processing tasks sometimes encounter situations where expected database
