Optimizing Cybersource API for High-Traffic Ecommerce

[somato88]

Can anyone share best practices or advanced techniques for optimizing the performance of Cybersource API integrations in high-traffic ecommerce environments?

To optimize Cybersource API performance for high-traffic environments, consider implementing rate limiting, caching responses, and using asynchronous processing to handle requests efficiently. Additionally, ensure robust error handling and monitor API performance to quickly address issues.

Hello @somato88 

To improve cybersource API performance in high traffic e commerce situations; first use request grouping to limit the amount of API requests. Use synchronous processing whenever possible to avoid blocking operations. Use caching for regular; non sensitive requests to reduce latency. Ensure that the connection uses restart logic with progressive back off to handle temporary problems. Monitor API response times and use load balancing to equally split demand between machines.
