Method, apparatus and computer program product for improving dynamic retry of resource service
Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for implementing dynamic retry of a resource service in a network system are provided. An example method may include: transmitting a first service request to the resource service, determining a first service availability indicator, calculating a first service availability estimate associated with the resource service based on the first service availability indicator, and determining whether to transmit a second service request based on the first service availability estimate. The example method may be repeated by an example apparatus continuously for each transmitted service request.
1. An apparatus for implementing dynamic retry of a resource service in a network system, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory storing program code, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
transmit one or more service requests to the resource service;
for each of the one or more service requests, determine a service availability indicator;
for each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests, generate a service availability estimate associated with the resource service based at least in part on the service availability indicator, the service availability estimate representing a prediction of availability of the resource service; and
transmit a subsequent service request to the resource service based at least in part on the service availability estimate.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resource service comprises a credit card validation service.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein determining the service availability indicator further comprises:
determining that a service response is not received within a predetermined time period subsequent to transmitting a given one of the one or more service requests; and
generating the service availability indicator indicating that the resource service is not available.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to further:
determine whether to transmit the subsequent service request.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request further comprises:
retrieving a service availability threshold associated with the resource service; and
determining whether the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request further comprises:
determining that the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold; and
responsive to determining that the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold, transmitting the subsequent service request to the resource service.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein calculating the service availability estimate further comprises:
replacing a previous service availability estimate with a current service availability estimate upon each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests.
8. A computer-implemented method for implementing dynamic retry of a resource service in a network system, comprising:
transmitting one or more service requests to the resource service;
for each of the one or more service requests, determining a service availability indicator;
for each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests, generating a service availability estimate associated with the resource service based at least in part on the service availability indicator, the service availability estimate representing a prediction of availability of the resource service; and
transmitting a subsequent service request to the resource service based at least in part on the service availability estimate.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the resource service comprises a credit card validation service.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining that a service response is not received within a predetermined time period subsequent to transmitting a given one of the one or more service requests; and
generating the service availability indicator indicating that the resource service is not available.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request further comprises:
retrieving a service availability threshold associated with the resource service; and
determining whether the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request further comprises:
determining that the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold; and
responsive to determining that the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold, transmitting the subsequent service request to the resource service.
14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein calculating the service availability estimate further comprises:
replacing a previous service availability estimate with a current service availability estimate upon each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests.
15. A computer program product for implementing dynamic retry of a resource service in a network system, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:
transmit one or more service requests to the resource service;
for each of the one or more service requests, determine a service availability indicator;
for each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests, generate a service availability estimate associated with the resource service based at least in part on the service availability indicator, the service availability estimate representing a prediction of availability of the resource service; and
transmit a subsequent service request to the resource service based at least in part on the service availability estimate.
16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the resource service comprises a credit card validation service.
17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein determining the service availability indicator further comprises:
determining that a service response is not received within a predetermined time period subsequent to transmitting a given one of the one or more service requests; and
generating the service availability indicator indicating that the resource service is not available.
18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions further comprise an executable portion configured to:
determine whether to transmit the subsequent service request.
19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein determining whether to transmit the subsequent service request further comprises:
retrieving a service availability threshold associated with the resource service; and
determining whether the service availability estimate satisfies the service availability threshold.
20. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein calculating the service availability estimate further comprises:
replacing a previous service availability estimate with a current service availability estimate upon each service availability indicator determined for the one or more service requests.
