Does it cover serverless configuration?

Absolutely. It offers specific settings for min_concurrency, keep_alive, and machine type selection to balance performance and price.

Can I use this for real-time applications?

Yes, it includes specific implementations for WebSockets and streaming to provide real-time feedback in interactive user interfaces.

How do I improve throughput for bulk tasks?

The skill demonstrates parallel request patterns using Promise.all() and async gather with built-in rate limiting to maximize throughput.

How does this skill help reduce fal.ai costs?

It provides strategies for model tiering, reducing inference steps, optimizing image dimensions, and implementing caching to prevent redundant generations.
