# Design considerations

Good practices and tips

## Security

Carefully approach multitenant Apps. Since Apps can handle multiple installations, even on multiple Ergonode instances, query your persistent data with that in mind to prevent data security leaks.

Get to know the [authentication](/apps2/detailed-reference/authentication.md) section well.

## Concurrency

The App should be highly available to accept multiple requests simultaneously.

To increase the performance of the synchronization process Ergonode can send a couple of requests at one time concurrently. Not only from one instance but also during one synchronization, especially if there's a lot of data being integrated.

## Use cache

If your app needs extra PIM data fetched by Ergonode APIs, especially during synchronization, cache it internally for at least the length of the process. It shall significantly speed up your processing.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ergonode.com/apps2/detailed-reference/design-considerations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
