Best Practices

# Best Practices

Follow these practices for optimal marketplace usage.

Code Quality

• Use TypeScript for type safety
• Implement comprehensive error handling
• Write unit tests
• Use code linters
• Document your code

Performance

• Implement caching where appropriate
• Batch API requests
• Use connection pooling
• Monitor response times
• Optimize database queries

Security

• Never hardcode API keys
• Validate and sanitize inputs
• Implement rate limiting
• Use HTTPS/TLS
• Regular security audits
• Keep dependencies updated

Error Handling

Always handle potential errors:

javascript
try {
  const result = await client.agents.invoke('agent-id', input);
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  if (error.code === 'AGENT_NOT_FOUND') {
    // Handle specific error
  } else if (error.code === 'RATE_LIMIT') {
    // Implement backoff
  } else {
    // Generic error handling
  }
}

Monitoring & Logging

Implement comprehensive logging: - API requests and responses - Errors and exceptions - Performance metrics - Business metrics - User actions

Cost Optimization

• Choose appropriate pricing models
• Monitor usage patterns
• Set up billing alerts
• Optimize agent selection
• Review spending monthly

Testing

• Unit tests for business logic
• Integration tests with API
• Load testing for scale
• Security testing
• User acceptance testing

Documentation

• Document your integration
• Maintain runbooks
• Create troubleshooting guides
• Document API usage patterns
• Keep architecture diagrams
