Episode notes
Scaling Full-Stack Apps
- Consider delegating slower asynchronous processes for better performance.
- Use type-safe tools like Injest, a serverless platform, to handle background jobs.
Retry Logic
- Use tools that handle retries automatically to ensure smooth user experience.
- This avoids tedious manual retry logic, especially with third-party services.
Checkout Flow with Injest
- Injust handles asynchronous processes like sending emails and payment reminders.
- In a checkout flow, it can manage payment success/failure and subsequent actions.
