Follow these best practices to handle Serverless Inference errors gracefully and maintain reliable applications.

1. Always implement error handling

Wrap API calls in try-except blocks:

2. Use retry logic with exponential backoff

3. Monitor your usage

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

4. Handle specific error codes

5. Set appropriate timeouts

Configure reasonable timeouts for your use case:

Additional tips

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