Use Case: High-volume systems, async processing, microservices.
Implementation
Service Layer Example // services/presentation-service.ts
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
import { Cache } from './cache';
import { Queue } from './queue';
export class PresentationService {
private gamma: GammaClient;
private cache: Cache;
private queue: Queue;
constructor() {
this.gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});
this.cache = new Cache({ ttl: 300 }); # 300: timeout: 5 minutes
this.queue = new Queue('presentations');
}
async create(userId: string, options: CreateOptions) {
// Add to queue for async processing
const job = await this.queue.add({
type: 'create',
userId,
options,
});
return { jobId: job.id, status: 'queued' };
}
async get(id: string) {
return this.cache.getOrFetch(
`presentation:${id}`,
() => this.gamma.presentations.get(id)
);
}
async list(userId: string, options: ListOptions) {
return this.gamma.presentations.list({
filter: { userId },
...options,
});
}
}
Event Handler Example // workers/gamma-worker.ts
import { Worker } from 'bullmq';
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new GammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY });
const worker = new Worker('presentations', async (job) => {
switch (job.data.type) {
case 'create':
const presentation = await gamma.presentations.create(job.data.options);
await notifyUser(job.data.userId, 'created', presentation);
return presentation;
case 'export':
const exportResult = await gamma.exports.create(
job.data.presentationId,
job.data.format
);
await notifyUser(job.data.userId, 'exported', exportResult);
return exportResult;
default:
throw new Error(`Unknown job type: ${job.data.type}`);
}
});
Component Responsibilities Component Responsibility API Gateway Auth, rate limiting, routing Service Layer Business logic, orchestration Gamma Client API communication, retries Cache Layer Response caching, deduplication Queue Async processing, load leveling Workers Background job execution Webhooks Real-time event handling
