How do I manage scaling and rate-limit policies?

APIs are the building blocks of the connected world.
Tim Berners-Lee

How It Works:

Implement exponential backoff, client-side throttling, and monitor usage via built-in analytics dashboards tied to your API key.

Key Benefits:

  • Reliability: Avoid service disruptions.
  • Cost control: Prevent unexpected overages.
  • Insights: Usage patterns inform optimizations.

Real-World Use Cases:

  • High-volume chat apps: Smooth scaling during peak loads.
  • Batch processing: Efficiently handle large datasets overnight.
