alpaca-broker-rate-limits-resilience

Handle Alpaca API rate limits by interpreting rate-limit headers and implementing automatic backoff when receiving HTTP 429 responses. This prevents accidental rate-limiting and ensures bulk data updates, backfill jobs, and reconciliation scans run without interruptions.

Recover from network errors and 5xx status codes in Alpaca API clients by implementing exponential backoff retry logic. This mechanism automatically retries failed requests with increasing delays, ensuring resilient client behavior during transient server issues.

Manage concurrency control and pagination by using bounded concurrency to limit concurrent requests and pagination loops to fetch all pages. This prevents overloading the Alpaca API and ensures complete data retrieval from paginated endpoints.

Yes, this API retry logic works for background jobs and reconciliation scans by managing HTTP request timeouts and optimizing bulk data operations. It maintains client efficiency and prevents interruptions during high-throughput tasks.

Your Alpaca API client stops working because it lacks automatic waiting for rate limit resets and proper rate-limit header interpretation. Implementing bounded concurrency and HTTP 429 backoff prevents this issue and maintains continuous operation.
