Optimizing User Activity Sync in devlog-ist/landing
The devlog-ist/landing project is focused on [project description]. We've been working on improving how user activity is synced, specifically addressing limitations with the Events API. This involves handling date range restrictions and implementing a more robust commit synchronization strategy.
The Events API has a limited range of about 90 days and pagination caps, causing errors when syncing older data. To resolve this, we implemented a check using isWithinEventsRange to conditionally call the API, similar to how syncUserCommits already worked. This prevents unnecessary errors and improves the stability of the sync process.
Furthermore, a multi-strategy commit sync was introduced. This approach uses the Repo Commits API for owned repositories, the Search Commits API for contributed repositories, and falls back to the Events API. This ensures more comprehensive and reliable synchronization of user activity data.
By implementing these changes, we've enhanced the resilience and accuracy of user activity synchronization. Check the full article for more details on the implementation and testing strategies.
