# Processing API Batches ## Overview Optimize bulk API operations with batch request endpoints, parallel execution with concurrency control, partial failure handling, and progress tracking. Implement batch processing patterns that accept arrays of operations in a single request, execute them efficiently with database bulk operations, and return per-item results with individual success/failure status. ## Prerequisites - Web framework capable of handling large request bodies (configure body size limits: 10MB+ for batch payloads) - Database with bulk operation support (bulk insert, bulk update, transactions) - Queue system for async batch processing: Bull/BullMQ (Node.js), Celery (Python), or SQS - Progress tracking store (Redis) for long-running batch status polling - Rate limiting aware of batch operations (count individual operations, not just requests) ## Instructions 1. Examine existing API endpoints using Read and Grep to identify operations frequently called in loops by consumers, which are candidates for batch equivalents. 2. Design the batch request format: accept an array of operations in the request body, each with an optional client-provided `id` for result correlation, e.g., `POST /batch` with `{operations: [{method: "POST", path: "/users", body: {...}, id: "op1"}]}`. 3. Implement synchronous batch processing for small batches (< 100 items): validate all items, execute in a database transaction, and return per-item results with `{id, status, result|error}` for...
