notes: No vendor-published rate limit numbers. PeopleSoft is typically deployed on customer-controlled
  Oracle infrastructure (on-prem or OCI), so API throughput is bounded by application server,
  Integration Broker, and database sizing rather than a vendor-imposed quota.

description: PeopleSoft API throughput (REST, Integration Broker, Component Interfaces) is
  governed by the customer's PeopleTools deployment topology — application server domains,
  IB queue tuning, and database capacity — not a vendor-side rate limit.

  - name: PeopleTools REST / IB
    scope: deployment
    metric: varies

  - name: Customer-Operated Throttling
    description: Throttling and retry behavior are managed in the customer's API gateway
      / Integration Broker configuration, not by the vendor.
  - name: Backoff
    description: Standard exponential backoff with jitter is recommended on any 5xx or 429
      response.
  - name: PeopleTools Tuning
    description: Capacity is tuned via Integration Broker queue partitioning, application
      server thread counts, and database connection pools.
