By throttling API calls, we prevent the "thundering herd" effect, effectively load-balancing discovery traffic to keep your instance responsive. -- Resilient State Persistence: Upgraded from simple URL tracking to a structured JSON database that persists across container restarts, including tracking for domain growth metrics. -- Professional Logging & Observability: Implemented a standardized logging framework that supports custom log levels (DEBUG/INFO) and provides real-time feedback on runtime, processed posts, and instance growth. -- Environment-Native Design: Complete decoupling of configuration from code. Every aspect—from API timeouts to timing intervals—is now managed via standardized environment variables (.env). -- Security-First Containerization: Provided a hardened Dockerfile that ensures the bot runs as a non-root user with minimized permissions, suitable for high-security home lab setups. +- **From "Script" to "Service":** Replaced external dependency on system cron jobs with an internal interval-based engine, allowing for a native "always-on" Docker experience. +- **Controlled Request Sequencing:** Introduced staggered execution and request delays.
