Ensuring that iPaaS.com does not take down other systems

Updated over 10 months ago

While iPaaS.com is a queuing system that does not need to worry about data limits, it provides tooling to ensure other systems are not sent more data than they can handle.

  • iPaaS.com supports rate limiting ensuring that key systems aren’t bombarded with data.

    • APIs are powerful tools, but the databases, servers, and clouds behind them don’t have infinite resources. That’s why it can be crucial to schedule and throttle the movement of data in and out of certain systems (more specifically limiting the calls that are made). For example, if a merchant is working with a large product catalog, you wouldn’t want to update prices and inventory for a million product records all at once, especially not in the middle of a busy shopping day like Black Friday.

  • Due to the nature of iPaaS.com’s auto-scaling and queuing, there is little need to throttle the input of data.
