Instructions

Step 1: API Usage Tracking

// src/monitoring/api-usage.ts

interface UsageMetric {
  endpoint: string;
  method: string;
  timestamp: Date;
  responseSize: number;
  cached: boolean;
}

class ApiUsageTracker {
  private metrics: UsageMetric[] = [];
  private dailyUsage: Map<string, number> = new Map();

  track(metric: Omit<UsageMetric, 'timestamp'>): void {
    this.metrics.push({
      ...metric,
      timestamp: new Date(),
    });

    // Update daily counter
    const today = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];
    const key = `${today}:${metric.endpoint}`;
    this.dailyUsage.set(key, (..(key) || ) + );
  }

  (days = ):  {
     now = .();
     cutoff = now - days *  *  *  * ;

     recentMetrics = ..(
       m..() > cutoff
    );

    
     : <, > = {};
    recentMetrics.( {
      byEndpoint[m.] = (byEndpoint[m.] || ) + ;
    });

    
     cacheHits = recentMetrics.( m.).;
     cacheHitRate = recentMetrics. > 
      ? cacheHits / recentMetrics.
      : ;

    
     opportunities = .(byEndpoint, cacheHitRate);

     {
      : ,
      : recentMetrics.,
      byEndpoint,
      : ,
      : .(recentMetrics),
      opportunities,
    };
  }

   (
    : <, >,
    : 
  ): [] {
     : [] = [];

    
    .(byEndpoint).( {
       (count >  && !endpoint.()) {
        opportunities.(
          
        );
      }
    });

    
     (cacheHitRate < ) {
      opportunities.(
        
      );
    }

     opportunities;
  }

   (: []):  {
     totalRequests = metrics.;
     cachedRequests = metrics.( m.).;

    
     costPerRequest = ;  

     savedRequests = cachedRequests;
     savings = savedRequests * costPerRequest;

     ;
  }
}

  usageTracker =  ();

Step 2: Smart Caching Strategy

// src/cache/smart-cache.ts

interface CacheStrategy {
  ttlSeconds: number;
  staleWhileRevalidate: boolean;
  priority: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low';
}

const cacheStrategies: Record<string, CacheStrategy> = {
  // Static data - cache longer
  'locations': { ttlSeconds: 3600, staleWhileRevalidate: true, priority: 'low' },
  'users': { ttlSeconds: 1800, staleWhileRevalidate: true, priority: 'low' },
  'assets': { ttlSeconds: 900, staleWhileRevalidate: true, priority: 'medium' },

  // Dynamic data - cache shorter
  'workorders:list': { ttlSeconds: 60, staleWhileRevalidate: true, priority: 'high' },
  'workorders:single': { ttlSeconds: 300, staleWhileRevalidate: true, priority: 'medium' },
};

  {
   : ;

   getOrFetch<T>(
    : ,
    :  <T>,
    : 
  ): <T> {
     strategy = cacheStrategies[strategyKey] || {
      : ,
      : ,
      : ,
    };

    
     cached =  ..<T>(key);

     (cached) {
      usageTracker.({
        : strategyKey,
        : ,
        : ,
        : ,
      });

      
       (strategy.) {
        .(key, fetchFn, strategy);
      }

       cached;
    }

    
     data =  ();

    usageTracker.({
      : strategyKey,
      : ,
      : .(data).,
      : ,
    });

    
     ..(key, data, strategy.);

     data;
  }

    revalidateInBackground<T>(
    : ,
    :  <T>,
    : 
  ): <> {
    
    ()
      .( ..(key, data, strategy.))
      .( .(, err));
  }
}

Step 3: Webhook-Based Updates

// src/sync/webhook-sync.ts

// Instead of polling, use webhooks to stay in sync
class WebhookBasedSync {
  private localCache: Map<string, any> = new Map();

  constructor() {
    // Initialize cache from MaintainX on startup
    this.initializeCache();

    // Register webhook handlers
    this.registerWebhookHandlers();
  }

  private async initializeCache(): Promise<void> {
    console.log('Initializing local cache from MaintainX...');

    // One-time full sync
    const workOrders = await getAllWorkOrders(client, { status: 'OPEN' });
    workOrders.forEach(wo => this.localCache.set(`workorder:${wo.id}`, wo));

    console.log(`Cached ${workOrders.length} work orders`);
  }

  private registerWebhookHandlers(): void {
    
    (,  (event) => {
      ..(, event.);
    });

    (,  (event) => {
      ..(, event.);
    });

    (,  (event) => {
      ..();
    });
  }

  
  (: ):  |  {
     ..();
  }

  
   (: ): <> {
     cached = ..();
     (cached)  cached;

    
     workOrder =  client.(id);
    ..(, workOrder);
     workOrder;
  }
}

Step 4: Request Batching

// src/optimization/batch-requests.ts

// Instead of individual requests, batch where possible
class BatchRequestManager {
  private pendingWorkOrderIds: Set<string> = new Set();
  private batchTimeout: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
  private batchResolvers: Map<string, (wo: WorkOrder) => void> = new Map();

  async getWorkOrder(id: string): Promise<WorkOrder> {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      this.pendingWorkOrderIds.add(id);
      this.batchResolvers.set(id, resolve);

      // Schedule batch execution
      if (!this.batchTimeout) {
        this.batchTimeout = setTimeout(() => .(), );
      }
    });
  }

    (): <> {
     ids = .(.);
    ..();
    . = ;

     (ids. === ) ;

    .();

    
    
     workOrders =  .(
      ids.( client.(id))
    );

    
    workOrders.( {
       resolver = ..(ids[i]);
       (resolver) {
        (wo);
        ..(ids[i]);
      }
    });

    
  }
}

Step 5: Efficient Data Fetching

// src/optimization/efficient-fetch.ts

// Only fetch what you need
async function fetchMinimalWorkOrderData(
  client: MaintainXClient,
  params: WorkOrderQueryParams
): Promise<WorkOrderSummary[]> {
  const response = await client.getWorkOrders({
    ...params,
    // Request only necessary fields if API supports field selection
    // fields: ['id', 'title', 'status', 'priority', 'dueDate'],
    limit: params.limit || 50,  // Don't over-fetch
  });

  // Transform to minimal objects
  return response.workOrders.map(wo => ({
    id: wo.id,
    title: wo.title,
    status: wo.status,
    priority: wo.priority,
    dueDate: wo.dueDate,
  }));
}

// Pagination with early termination
async function fetchUntilCondition(
  client: MaintainXClient,
  condition: (wo: WorkOrder) => boolean,
  params: WorkOrderQueryParams = {}
): <[]> {
   : [] = [];
   :  | ;

   {
     response =  client.({ ...params, cursor, :  });

     ( wo  response.) {
       ((wo)) {
        results.(wo);
      }  {
        
         results;
      }
    }

    cursor = response. || ;
  }  (cursor && results. < );  

   results;
}

Step 6: Cost Dashboard

// src/monitoring/cost-dashboard.ts

interface CostReport {
  period: string;
  totalRequests: number;
  estimatedCost: number;
  byEndpoint: Record<string, { count: number; cost: number }>;
  recommendations: string[];
}

function generateCostReport(days = 30): CostReport {
  const usage = usageTracker.getUsageReport(days);

  // Cost per request (adjust based on your plan)
  const costPerRequest = 0.001;

  const byEndpoint: Record<string, { count: number; cost: number }> = {};
  Object.entries(usage.byEndpoint).forEach(([endpoint, count]) => {
    byEndpoint[endpoint] = {
      count: count as number,
      cost: (count as number) * costPerRequest,
    };
  });

  // Sort by cost descending
  const sortedEndpoints = .(byEndpoint)
    .( b[]. - a[].);

   : [] = [];

  
   (sortedEndpoints. > ) {
     [topEndpoint, topUsage] = sortedEndpoints[];
    recommendations.(
       +
      
    );
  }

  
   cacheHitRate = (usage.);
   (cacheHitRate < ) {
     potentialSavings = usage. *  * costPerRequest;
    recommendations.(
       +
      
    );
  }

   {
    : ,
    : usage.,
    : usage. * costPerRequest,
    byEndpoint,
    recommendations,
  };
}

Output

• API usage tracking implemented
• Smart caching strategy
• Webhook-based sync instead of polling
• Request batching
• Cost dashboard and reports
