Exa Reliability Patterns

About

This skill equips Claude with specialized implementation patterns for building mission-critical services using the Exa API. It provides structured logic for circuit breakers via Opossum, deterministic idempotency keys for duplicate prevention, and bulkhead isolation to prioritize API traffic. By incorporating these reliability standards, developers can ensure their Exa-powered applications remain stable under heavy load, handle transient network failures gracefully, and maintain data integrity using Dead Letter Queues (DLQ) and fallback caching strategies.

Key Features

• Circuit breaker implementation using Opossum to prevent cascading system failures
• 0 GitHub stars
• Bulkhead pattern configuration for isolating and prioritizing API traffic
• Deterministic idempotency key generation for safe request retrying
• Graceful degradation logic with automated fallback and stale-data caching
• Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) structures for managing and auditing permanent failures

Use Cases

• Adding enterprise-grade resilience to production SaaS applications integrating Exa
• Building high-availability search services and web intelligence tools powered by Exa
• Implementing robust retry logic for sensitive data processing pipelines
