optimization_tips:
  - Leverage caching (Redis/Memcached) to reduce API call volume and infrastructure costs.
  - Use pagination parameters to limit response payloads and reduce bandwidth.
  - Self-host on auto-scaling infrastructure to match traffic patterns.
  - Monitor API usage via Laravel Telescope or application performance monitoring tools.
  - Use X-LOCALE and X-CHANNEL headers to scope requests and avoid over-fetching data.
