- Always test changes and additions in STAGING, not PRODUCTION.
- 4xx and 5xx errors differently. For 4xx errors, use the details in the response body to help with corrective action. For 502 and 503 errors, use a retry and exponential backoff approach. See Common errors using Data Ocean for more information about error handling.
- Handle 4xx errors returned from the server and check response for error details. It will provide details of the error while processing the request.
- Avoid putting all files in a flat directory structure. If your application does not have a hierarchy structure, try adding a computed prefix in the path for your files. Use this full path when you create a file object.
- Use multipart uploads for large files to improve upload performance.
