Ramp Integration Cost and Workload Tuning

Overview

Cost tuning is a correctness exercise: remove redundant retrieval, not evidence. Establish a complete baseline, shift change detection to webhooks where supported, and preserve periodic reconciliation for missed or non-evented changes.

Prerequisites

• Identify the Ramp application, environment, business entities, affected data and workflows, accountable owner, and rollback boundary.
• Read references/official-docs.md and re-check endpoint schemas, scopes, limits, and support status before a live operation.
• Use synthetic fixtures or Ramp sandbox until production access and business effects are explicitly approved.
• Prepare approved secret storage and a sanitized evidence location.

Current Contract

• Ramp recommends persisting an initial full sync locally and fetching new or changed records incrementally where endpoint semantics support it.
• Incremental filters are endpoint-specific; for example, transaction synced_after covers accounting sync events, not every transaction update.
• Webhooks reduce polling but do not remove the need for idempotent consumption and periodic reconciliation.
• Batch and page limits are endpoint-specific and must be read from the current schema before tuning.
