Juicebox Cost Tuning
Overview
Optimize Juicebox API usage to maximize value while minimizing costs.
Prerequisites
- Access to Juicebox usage dashboard
- Understanding of pricing tiers
- Baseline usage metrics
Juicebox Pricing Model
| Tier | Monthly Cost | Searches | Enrichments | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 500 | 100 | Community |
| Pro | $99 | 10,000 | 2,000 | |
| Business | $499 | 50,000 | 10,000 | Priority |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Unlimited | Dedicated |
Instructions
Step 1: Track Usage
// lib/usage-tracker.ts
interface UsageMetrics {
searches: number;
enrichments: number;
apiCalls: number;
dataTransfer: number;
}
export class UsageTracker {
private metrics: UsageMetrics = {
searches: 0,
enrichments: 0,
apiCalls: 0,
dataTransfer: 0
};
private readonly limits: UsageMetrics;
constructor(tier: 'free' | 'pro' | 'business') {
this.limits = this.getLimits(tier);
}
trackSearch(): void {
this.metrics.searches++;
this.checkLimits();
}
trackEnrichment(): void {
this.metrics.enrichments++;
this.checkLimits();
}
getUsagePercentage(): Record<string, number> {
return {
searches: (this.metrics.searches / this.limits.searches) * 100,
enrichments: (this.metrics.enrichments / this.limits.enrichments) * 100
};
}
private checkLimits(): void {
const usage = this.getUsagePercentage();
if (usage.searches > 80 || usage.enrichments > 80) {
this.sendAlert('Approaching usage limit');
}
}
}
Step 2: Implement Smart Caching
// lib/cost-aware-cache.ts
export class CostAwareCache {
// Cache expensive operations longer
private ttlByOperation: Record<string, number> = {
'search': 5 * 60, // 5 minutes
'profile.basic': 60 * 60, // 1 hour
'profile.enriched': 24 * 60 * 60, // 24 hours (expensive)
'export': 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 // 7 days (very expensive)
};
async getOrFetch<T>(
operation: string,
key: string,
fetchFn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
const cached = await this.get<T>(key);
if (cached) {
metrics.increment('cache.hit', { operation });
return cached;
}
metrics.increment('cache.miss', { operation });
const result = await fetchFn();
const ttl = this.ttlByOperation[operation] || 300;
await this.set(key, result, ttl);
return result;
}
}
Step 3: Deduplicate Requests
// lib/request-deduplicator.ts
export class RequestDeduplicator {
private inFlight = new Map<string, Promise<any>>();
async dedupe<T>(key: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
const existing = this.inFlight.get(key);
if (existing) {
return existing as Promise<T>;
}
const promise = fn().finally(() => {
this.inFlight.delete(key);
});
this.inFlight.set(key, promise);
return promise;
}
}
// Usage - prevents duplicate API calls
const deduplicator = new RequestDeduplicator();
async function getProfile(id: string): Promise<Profile> {
return deduplicator.dedupe(`profile:${id}`, () =>
client.profiles.get(id)
);
}
Step 4: Batch Operations
// lib/cost-optimizer.ts
export class CostOptimizer {
// Instead of individual enrichments, batch them
async enrichProfiles(ids: string[]): Promise<Profile[]> {
const BATCH_SIZE = 100; // API limit
const results: Profile[] = [];
for (let i = 0; i < ids.length; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
const batch = ids.slice(i, i + BATCH_SIZE);
// One API call for 100 profiles vs 100 calls
const enriched = await client.profiles.batchEnrich(batch);
results.push(...enriched);
}
return results;
}
// Selective enrichment - only enrich what you need
async smartEnrich(profile: Profile, requiredFields: string[]): Promise<Profile> {
const missingFields = requiredFields.filter(f => !profile[f]);
if (missingFields.length === 0) {
return profile; // No enrichment needed
}
return client.profiles.enrich(profile.id, {
fields: missingFields // Only fetch missing data
});
}
}
Step 5: Usage Dashboard
// routes/usage.ts
router.get('/api/usage/dashboard', async (req, res) => {
const usage = await juiceboxClient.usage.get();
const dashboard = {
currentPeriod: {
searches: usage.searches,
searchLimit: usage.limits.searches,
searchPercentage: (usage.searches / usage.limits.searches) * 100,
enrichments: usage.enrichments,
enrichmentLimit: usage.limits.enrichments,
enrichmentPercentage: (usage.enrichments / usage.limits.enrichments) * 100
},
projectedUsage: {
searchesEndOfMonth: projectUsage(usage.searches, usage.periodStart),
enrichmentsEndOfMonth: projectUsage(usage.enrichments, usage.periodStart)
},
costSavings: {
cacheHitRate: await getCacheHitRate(),
dedupeSavings: await getDedupeSavings(),
batchingSavings: await getBatchingSavings()
}
};
res.json(dashboard);
});
Cost Optimization Checklist
## Monthly Cost Review
### Caching
- [ ] Cache hit rate > 70%
- [ ] High-cost operations cached longer
- [ ] Cache invalidation working properly
### Request Optimization
- [ ] Deduplication enabled
- [ ] Batch operations used
- [ ] Selective field fetching
### Usage Patterns
- [ ] No unnecessary enrichments
- [ ] Search results paginated efficiently
- [ ] Exports scheduled off-peak
### Alerts
- [ ] 80% usage warning configured
- [ ] Anomaly detection enabled
- [ ] Budget alerts set up
Output
- Usage tracking system
- Cost-aware caching
- Request deduplication
- Usage dashboard
