Move heavy bulk operations out of the request/response cycle with job resources. Enqueue work, return quickly, let clients poll for status.

Use opaque cursors instead of numeric offsets for more stable pagination over changing data like feeds, logs, or events.

Write events to your database inside the same transaction as your state changes, then publish them reliably with a background worker.

Avoid over-fetching by default while letting clients pull related data in one call when needed using expand parameters.

Let clients safely retry non-idempotent calls without accidentally creating duplicates. Essential for payments and critical operations.

Push events to third-party systems in near-real-time with signed payloads, retry logic, and event replay capabilities.
