# working notes

|
|
|

|
|
- constructing artist catalogs from musiscbrainz api calls may be prohibitive
|
||
|
|
- musicbrainz requests that a single source IP not make more than 1 QPS
|
||
|
|
- going from artist name -> artist ID -> artist catalog requires making a linearly scaling number of requests with catalog size (some 20 requests for Taylor Swift, potentially) due to pagination
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- alternatives to musicbrainz api
|
||
|
|
- another api, like apple music
|
||
|
|
- expensive
|
||
|
|
- aggressive local caching with redis
|
||
|
|
- still incurs startup cost to warm up cache
|
||
|
|
- use a local copy of the musicbrainz database
|
||
|
|
- manage postgres instance? copy data into sqlite?
