# SalesLoft Cost Tuning

## Overview

SalesLoft API cost is rate-limit-based (600 cost points/minute), not dollar-based. The primary cost driver is deep pagination -- pages beyond 100 cost 3-30x more. Optimize by using incremental sync, caching, and avoiding full table scans.

## Cost Model

### Rate Limit Cost Structure

| Page Range | Cost per Request | Notes |
|------------|-----------------|-------|
| 1-100 | 1 point | Standard |
| 101-150 | 3 points | 3x multiplier |
| 151-250 | 8 points | 8x multiplier |
| 251-500 | 10 points | 10x multiplier |
| 501+ | 30 points | 30x multiplier |

**Budget: 600 points/minute.** This is the ceiling regardless of SalesLoft plan tier.

### Cost Calculator

```typescript
function calculateSyncCost(totalRecords: number, perPage = 100) {
  const pages = Math.ceil(totalRecords / perPage);
  let cost = 0;
  for (let p = 1; p <= pages; p++) {
    if (p <= 100) cost += 1;
    else if (p <= 150) cost += 3;
    else if (p <= 250) cost += 8;
    else if (p <= 500) cost += 10;
    else cost += 30;
  }
  const minutes = Math.ceil(cost / 600);
  return { pages, cost, minutes, pointsPerMinute: 600 };
}

// Examples:
// 1,000 records = 10 pages = 10 points = instant
// 10,000 records = 100 pages = 100 points = instant
// 25,000 records = 250 pages = 100 + 150 + 800 = 1050 points = ~2 min
// 50,000 records = 500 pages = 100 + 150 + 800 + 2500 = 3550 points = ~6 min
```

## Cost Reduction Strategies

### Strategy 1: Incremental Sync (Biggest Win)

```typescript
// Full sync of 25k people: 1050 points
// Incremental sync of last hour's changes: ~1-5 points
const { data } = await api.get('/people.json', {
  params: {
    updated_at: { gt: lastSyncTime }, // Only changed records
    per_page: 100,
    page: 1,
  },
});
```

### Strategy 2: Cache Frequently Accessed Data

```typescript
// Cadence list rarely changes -- cache for 5 minutes
const cadences = await cachedGet('/cadences.json', { per_page: 100 }, 300_000);

// Person lookup by email -- cache for 1 minute
const person = await cachedGet('/people.json', { email_addresses: [email] }, 60_000);
```

### Strategy 3: Webhook-Driven Instead of Polling

```typescript
// EXPENSIVE: Poll every minute for changes
setInterval(() => api.get('/people.json', { params: { updated_at: { gt: lastCheck } }}), 60_000);

// FREE: Receive webhooks for changes (0 API cost)
app.post('/webhooks/salesloft', (req, res) => {
  handlePersonUpdate(req.body.data);
  res.status(200).send();
});
```

### Strategy 4: Request Consolidation

```typescript
// EXPENSIVE: 3 separate requests = 3 points
const person = await api.get(`/people/${id}.json`);
const cadences = await api.get('/cadences.json');
const activities = await api.get('/activities/emails.json');

// CHEAPER: Parallel but still 3 points -- at least saves wall-clock time
const [person, cadences, activities] = await Promise.all([...]);
```

## Usage Monitoring

```typescript
class ApiCostTracker {
  private costs: { timestamp: number; endpoint: string; cost: number }[] = [];

  track(endpoint: string, page: number) {
    let cost = 1;
    if (page > 500) cost = 30;
    else if (page > 250) cost = 10;
    else if (page > 150) cost = 8;
    else if (page > 100) cost = 3;

    this.costs.push({ timestamp: Date.now(), endpoint, cost });
  }

  lastMinuteCost(): number {
    const cutoff = Date.now() - 60_000;
    return this.costs.filter(c => c.timestamp > cutoff).reduce((sum, c) => sum + c.cost, 0);
  }
}
```

## Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Frequent 429s | Deep pagination or polling | Switch to incremental sync + webhooks |
| Sync takes hours | Full table scan nightly | Switch to incremental with 5-min intervals |
| Rate limit exhausted | Multiple integrations sharing key | Use separate OAuth apps |

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
