- 20. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Exception Handling • Just do it! • Look for exceptions • Provide reasonable fallbacks • Fail gracefully
- 21. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Exception Handling “Applications in complex distributed architectures have dozens of dependencies, each of which will inevitably fail at some point. If not isolated from these external failures, the host application is at risk of being taken down with them.” -Netflix (Hystrix)
- 22. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Manage API Traffic • Limit API Queries • Questions to ask – Do I absolutely have to make this call? – Can I pull from a cache? – How up to date does my data have to be? • Leverage API Count – Provides number of results – Paging
- 23. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Cache Results • Caching Libraries/Services – Memcached – APC (Alternative PHP Cache) – Redis – EhCache – AngularJS ($cacheFactory) – EmberJS (Ember Data)
- 24. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Throttling • Plan for it • Provide reasonable fallbacks • Current – Timeout (fail fast) – don’t block • Future – Watch for 403 Exception
- 25. The Ultimate Event for Small Business Success. Avoid • Assuming that everything is available at all times • Unhandled throttling • Pulling the same, static data too many times (Cache it!) • Not reading the documentation
