Deluge

  • The function has a single responsibility; complex logic is split into custom function + unit test data.
  • invokeurl must try/catch + write Integration Log form.
  • Hardcoding keys in client scripts is prohibited.

API

  • External systems use OAuth + minimum Scope; Token stores Connection.
  • Bulk synchronous pagination; idempotent key = external ID field.
  • Rate limit monitoring and backoff retries.
