What you'll be able to do
- Build canonical cache keys and add single-flight, stale-while-revalidate and negative caching
- Plan, send and reconcile batch requests, re-queueing only the rate-limited items
- Run a 100,000-row enrichment job that checkpoints, resumes and stays under the rate limit
- Merge paginated results without duplicates or reordering, and know when a listing changed under you
- Estimate a job's cost before it runs, enforce budgets per feature or tenant, and alert on burn rate

Syllabus
- Cache API responses in productionStart hereProduction API caching in Node.js: canonical cache keys, TTLs by data volatility, single-flight, stale-while-revalidate, negative caching and Redis.
- Batch requestsUse APIVerve batch requests at scale: dedupe and chunk inputs, read per-item results, re-queue only rate-limited items, and reconcile what was billed.
- Bulk jobs and paginationRun a 100,000-row API enrichment job that checkpoints and resumes, stays under the rate limit, and merges paginated results without duplicates.
- Control credit spendEstimate an API job's credit cost before it runs, enforce budgets per feature and tenant, read usage from headers and the Analytics API, and alert early.
