API Rate Limit Exceeded After Changes
After Cursor refactored your API request code, the application suddenly exceeds rate limits and receives 429 Too Many Requests errors. API calls that were working are now being rate limited.
The refactored code may be making redundant requests or not implementing proper batching.
Error Messages You Might See
429 Too Many Requests
Rate limit exceeded
Quota exceeded
Too many requests from this IP
Common Causes
- Removed request caching or memoization
- Loop making duplicate API calls instead of batch endpoint
- Removed debounce/throttle on frequently triggered requests
- Polling interval set too short or continuous
- Retrying failed requests too aggressively
How to Fix It
Implement caching: store responses and return within TTL. Use debounce for search/filter: debounce(fetch, 300). Batch requests to single endpoint. Reduce polling interval. Implement exponential backoff for retries: delay = baseDelay * 2^attemptCount.

Iāve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decadeāfrom the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causesālike significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Hi Im a full stack developer, a vibe coded MVP to Market ready product, I'm here to help
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.

What's debounce?
Waits for pause in activity before executing. Useful for search: only fetch after user stops typing for 300ms.
How do I cache API responses?
Store in variable with timestamp. Check if data is fresh before fetching. Clear on mutation (POST/PUT/DELETE).
