Success stories

๐Ÿ’ฐ Optimizing costs and user experience

Given that Ricardo has millions of page views every day, excessive API requests from common elements like the header and search bar had a direct impact on costs and loading times. This led me to introduce "react-query", a client-side caching library. My proof of concept could reduce the amount of API calls significantly, which resulted in a faster user experience. This innovation now serves as the standard for frontend API interactions at Ricardo, delivering daily cost savings.
