OpenAI API Expert – Production Error Handling & Rate Limit Optimization
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have an existing OpenAI integration (GPT-4) in my Node.js/Express backend. The API calls work about 80% of the time, but I need an OpenAI expert to make it production-ready.
Current Issues:
- The app crashes when OpenAI API returns rate limit errors (429)
- No retry logic for transient failures
- Error messages show raw JSON to end users instead of friendly text
- No logging or monitoring for API usage
What I Need (2-hour sprint):
1. Add exponential backoff retry logic for rate limits
2. Implement graceful error handling with user-friendly messages
3. Add basic request logging (timestamp, tokens used, response time)
Tech Stack: Node.js, Express, OpenAI API (GPT-4)
