Request Deduplication: A Structure for Showing the Same Month’s Menu Quickly
A pattern in which screens requesting the same data share one in-flight request. Repeating the same API call with every quick menu switch increases latency and cost, and can also make response order unpredictable. Collection and retrieval must be separated.
What Is Request Merging?
A pattern in which screens requesting the same data share one in-flight request. This note treats request merging as a responsibility involving input, transformation, and output, rather than as the name of a feature. To trust an analysis result, it must be possible to trace what data came in, what was checked, and how far the conclusions can go.
Why Is This Technique Needed?
Repeating the same API call with every quick menu switch increases latency and cost, and can also make response order unpredictable. Collection and retrieval must be separated.
Design Principles and Data Flow
Check the completed cache first, and share in-flight requests by key. Store successes and put failures into a state that can be retried.
Monthly lookup → Merge in-flight requests → Share with screens
Each stage must not relabel the success of the preceding stage as an outcome of its own. Recording data identifiers, time periods, and validation status together makes it possible to locate where omissions and errors occurred and determine what needs to be checked again.
Connection to the SAG Architecture
The SAG loader merges in-flight requests for the same month and reuses a short-lived in-memory cache. Navigating between screens does not trigger a new collection run.
SAG’s operational value lies in connecting these relationships to pages and questions, comparison results, and improvement tasks. Instead of reading only the numbers, customers can review both what needs strengthening and the basis for the decision. Patterns that require further application should be read according to the scope of the relevant paragraph.
Illustrative Example and Decision Criteria
If illustrative SEO and GEO request the same monthly workspace, they share one result. For data from independent channels, the key scope should be defined differently.
The example above is intended to explain the structure and calculation; it is not measured performance from a specific customer. Actual reports must link the selected period, target, observation conditions, and original records so that the same decision can be verified again.
Practical Verification Checklist
| Flow stage | Item to check |
|---|---|
| Monthly lookup | Verify one request for identical requests |
| Merge in-flight requests | Retry after failure |
| Share with screens | Review month and permission keys |
Check that the same meaning is maintained not only with normal inputs, but also with missing data, duplicate data, and data with different conditions. Linking verification items to task completion criteria can reduce the gap between feature descriptions and actual operations.
Limitations and Points to Consider in Application
If the key is too narrow, different data can get mixed; if it is too broad, reuse decreases. Define permission and month boundaries first.
