Follow these best practices to handle W&B Serverless Inference errors and maintain reliable applications.

Always implement error handling

Wrap API calls in try-except blocks:

Use retry logic with exponential backoff

Retry transient failures with increasing delays between attempts:

Monitor your usage

  • Track credit usage in the W&B Billing page.
  • Set up alerts before you hit limits.
  • Log API usage in your application.

Handle specific error codes

Set appropriate timeouts

Configure reasonable timeouts for your use case:

Additional tips

  • Log errors with timestamps for debugging.
  • Use async operations to handle concurrency better.
  • Implement circuit breakers for production systems.
  • Cache responses when appropriate to reduce API calls.
