Use the PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client SDK by instantiating DataverseClient with your organization URL and credentials. Wrap the client in a singleton service class so the connection is reused across operations instead of being recreated per call.

Catch HttpError from the Dataverse error hierarchy and retry with exponential backoff, such as waiting 2^attempt seconds between tries. Cap the retry count and log each failed attempt so persistent failures surface clearly.

Yes, queries support select, filter, orderby, top, and expand parameters. Apply filters on the server using lowercase logical attribute names and always select only the columns you need to reduce payload size.

A singleton ensures one DataverseClient instance is shared across your application, avoiding repeated authentication and connection setup. This reduces latency and prevents exhausting connection resources during high-volume operations.

Use Python's logging module rather than print statements, recording record counts on success, warnings for missing records, and errors with exception details on failure. Configure a timestamped format so audit trails can be correlated across runs.
