arXivMind Database Microservice Architecture

API Rate Limiting

arXiv Search API enforces strict rate limits (1 request per 3 seconds) that severely restricts data collection speed.

Data Collection Delays

Manual collection processes take hours to gather research papers, delaying content availability for users.

User Experience Impact

Slow data updates result in outdated research information and poor user satisfaction.

Scalability Issues

Current approach doesn't scale with growing research demands and user base expansion.

Automated Scheduling

EventBridge Scheduler triggers Lambda functions at optimal intervals (10AM & 10PM EST) to respect API rate limits.

Intelligent Data Processing

Lambda functions process research papers efficiently, handling metadata extraction and content optimization.

Reliable Storage

RDS PostgreSQL provides ACID compliance with automatic backups, ensuring data integrity and availability.

Real-time Monitoring

CloudWatch tracks performance metrics while SNS provides instant alerts for any pipeline issues.
