Here to learn, share, and connect with developers, founders & builders.
Let's connect! 🤝
🚨 A potential problem with MCP connectors that got me thinking.
Imagine you've built an MCP connector that allows users to fetch read-only data from your application through AI assistants.
Now, what if a user asks their AI:
"Fetch my latest data every 2 seconds for the next hour."
That's 1,800 requests from a single user! 😬
Now imagine 1,000 users doing the same.
Even though the MCP tools are read-only, they could overload your database and potentially bring down your application.
How would you prevent this at scale?
Curious how other backend engineers would approach this. 👇

The more I learn about backend and system design, the less I feel I know.
A lot left to learn.
If you're still learning while working a full-time job, share one tip for me 👇
@breadsignal Hi 👋, Been thinking about subscription management inside AI chat. Instead of hunting through a portal, a customer just says ‘pause my next order’ and it happens. Curious if anyone’s building where commerce meets chat. What’s your idea?
@EdenBitton7 Hi Eden, Yeah alongwith fun part, it also allow us to see how other people think the same idea or problem you working on, it gives different perspectives. Connected btw 👈
@edcfromitaly Hi Emanuele, to be honest it sounds great...I'm also building my own API client with some automation features (still in development). There are a lot to hear from you, looking forward in chat 😊. Connected btw 🤝.
