Short summary
A developer from Seoul shares architectural patterns for k-cosmos, an interactive 3D K-pop vector-embedding visualization. Key solutions: three-phase transaction boundaries to prevent HikariCP exhaustion when calling external APIs, SQL window functions enforcing artist diversity in recommendations, and budget randomization distributing daily LLM quotas across the task pipeline.
- •Three-phase transaction pattern eliminates connection pool exhaustion from async external I/O
- •SQL window functions enforce artist diversity to prevent recommendation echo chambers
- •Budget randomization distributes daily LLM quotas evenly across task queue
