Test, test, test. Then get some real end users to test and review again. Throw extreme scenarios and what ifs into the environment.

Testing the system rigorously through different scenarios would definitely help you identify problems. However, we need to have a fall-back mechanism for error handling and bottleneck scenarios. Caching to ensure rate limiting, scalability, Local Backups, Load Balancers, redundant instances to process the requests, and Microservices architectures are a few that will improve the system performance and reliability. I built an event-driven system while integrating with a third-party API with AWS which helped us handle throttling and streamline requests in a queue, with a local cache to service requests for a small time without having to trigger third-party API every time.
