Enhancing Python API with ChatGPT

Alejandro Tommasino is a fixer. Well, he’s a Solutions Architect at ITX Corp. But when something’s not working properly and no one else can figure out why, you call in Ale.

That’s exactly what happened when ITX was deploying a new API to access a My SQL database. The codebase was supposed to go into multiple databases, create a report of ITX employees and their roles from the data, and then deliver that report. However, the site would always mysteriously crash about six hours after the report was delivered.

The team was stumped; a lack of error management in the code prevented them from figuring out what exactly was failing. If your car just shut down while you were driving without showing something like a check engine light, anything could be the problem.

So much is audience dependent. Human nature is amazingly complex and sometimes confusing; it requires us as creators to explore each creation subjectively, mindful of each audience’s expectations.
