Get Following Count Analysis

About​

  • The getFollowingCountAnalysis function plays a pivotal role in the server application by managing requests for the analysis of following counts for a designated user. This asynchronous function extracts the user ID from incoming requests, schedules periodic follower updates with scheduleFollowerUpdateJob, and retrieves the updated following count using getUpdatedFollowing. Upon success, it responds with a JSON object containing the following count and a 200 status code. In the event of analysis failure, it gracefully handles errors, throwing a custom error, FailedToPerformFollowerorFollowingCountAnalysis, with pertinent details. This meticulous error handling ensures informative responses, enhancing the reliability of the server's following count analysis functionality.

Flow​

Cron Job​

  • As the user's following count undergoes regular changes, either increasing or decreasing, I've implemented a cron scheduler. This scheduler fetches the latest user data from the GitHub REST API service and ensures that the database is updated accordingly.
