How would you layer the architecture of backend interaction: data retrieval, validation, storage, and retries on error?

Answer from AI

The architecture of interaction with the backend can be divided into the following layers:

  1. Data Fetching Layer

    • Responsible for sending HTTP requests to the backend.
    • Uses fetch, axios, or another library.
  2. Validation Layer

    • Checks the correctness of the received data.
    • May include schema validation (e.g., with Yup or Joi) or custom logic.
  3. Storage Layer

    • Manages the application's data state.
    • Can use Redux, MobX, Context API, or local state.
  4. Retry/Error Handling Layer

    • Catches network request or validation errors.
    • Implements retry logic with exponential backoff or a fixed number of attempts.

Approximate scheme:

Data Fetching Layer → Validation Layer → Storage Layer

   ←--- Retry/Error Handling Layer ---

This separation helps keep the code clean, facilitates testing, and reusing logic.
