Hi everyone,
I’m working on a cloud-based backend running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that interacts with YouTube-related services (mainly through YouTube Data API and some custom ingestion logic). The setup works fine under normal conditions, but I’ve noticed that traffic patterns coming from YouTube integrations can be pretty unpredictable—bursty requests, quota limits, retries, and occasional latency spikes.
I’m curious how others here handle this on OCI.
- Do you rely more on OCI Load Balancer + autoscaling, or do you push most of this logic into streaming/queue-based services?
- Any lessons learned around rate limiting, caching, or API gateway configs when dealing with YouTube APIs?
- Are there specific OCI services (like OCI Streaming, Functions, or API Gateway) that you’ve found especially useful for this kind of workload?
I’m not looking for a single “right” answer—more interested in real-world experiences and patterns that have worked (or failed) for you. Appreciate any insights from people running similar integrations.
