Data Balancer Module
Definition
The "Data Balancer" tool module, a default module of the platform for use in any flow, efficiently divides large datasets into smaller parts.
This module is ideal for situations where a target API has data reception limitations, as the "Data Balancer" splits the original data, ensuring each processed segment stays within the established limits and prevents overloads.
Configuring the Data Balancer Module
The "Data Balancer" module is available under the Tools option when editing a flow. After clicking to add it, the configuration modal will be displayed.
Settings
Select and fill in the following fields:
Type: Choose between Array Items, Line or Character.
Quantity: Enter the amount of data to be processed at a time.
Data to Balance: Input the data manually or use an SMOP.
Additionally, there is a "Test" button and "Input" and "Output" tabs to monitor data entry and testing.
To finish configuring the module, click on "Save".
Use example
The "Data Balancer" module requires another module to be connected to it. So, we built our flow as follows:
Imagine a scenario where a store has many simultaneous sales. To avoid overloading the order processing system, we used the "Data Balancer" to send 2 orders at a time. The module was configured as follows:
After saving the configuration, we execute the flow. Notice that the logger shows the orders were sent according to the configuration, in batches of 2 orders at a time:
