5 ways to make your integration more resilient
summary
Xero shows concrete scale: 850 million API calls and 2.3 million webhook batches per month, limits of 60 calls/60s and 5,000/day, and a 3.5 MB payload cap. Practical resilience techniques are batching, paging and filtering to cut call volume, using modified-since and webhooks for smart syncs, surfacing validation errors with suggested fixes, keeping audit logs and retry endpoints, and decoupling integration logic with queued requests plus queue and retry policies so user flows continue during outages.
