tschloss Is it nice to login every 5 minutes? (Python/Beatbox)
Hi,
I am using the Beatbox py library. Using the examples a script creates a new client with a new login every time the skript is called.
My usage pattern will cause a skript to be called every 5 Minutes in average (maybe 2-5 times per minute in rare peaks).
Is this behaviour ok (for SFDC's watchdogs and for the client's performance)?
Are there other patterns to use (e.g. oauth like key retrieval once and no new logins with every call)?
Thanks for comments!

Hi tschloss,
logging in on every request shouldn't be a problem - you can do 3600 logins per hour and user. However the login action is resouce intensive and therefor slow. If you want to improve performance you can store the session locally and simply reuse it between your calls. If you do this you need to keep track of the session age or alternativly be able to handle the session from being to old when calling SFDC.
I have solutions that is doing both. The low traffic sites (less than a call a minute) I simply don't care about storing sessions - higher traffic sites I make sure I store the session.
I hope this helps!
