Adobe Reliability Patterns

Overview

Production-grade reliability patterns for Adobe API integrations. Adobe APIs present unique challenges: IMS tokens expire after 24h, Firefly/Photoshop jobs are async with variable completion times, and rate limits vary by API. These patterns address each failure mode.

Prerequisites

• Understanding of circuit breaker pattern
• opossum installed for circuit breaker (npm install opossum)
• Queue infrastructure (BullMQ/Redis) for dead letter queue
• Caching layer for fallback data

Instructions

Pattern 1: Circuit Breaker per Adobe API

Different Adobe APIs fail independently — use separate circuit breakers:
