Overview

Optimize Gamma API usage to minimize costs through usage monitoring, quotas, caching, and smart AI generation patterns.

Prerequisites

• Active Gamma subscription
• Access to usage dashboard
• Understanding of pricing tiers

Instructions

Step 1: Implement Usage Monitoring

Track daily usage by operation type (presentations, generations, exports, API calls). Alert at 80% of plan limits.

Step 2: Configure Per-User Quotas

Set quotas per user with auto-reset. Check quotas before API calls and decrement on success.

Step 3: Optimize AI Generation

Use templates with targeted AI generation only for slides that need it, rather than full AI generation for every slide.

Step 4: Add Response Caching

Use Redis with 1-hour TTL to eliminate redundant API calls for repeated data.

Step 5: Batch Operations

Replace individual API calls with batch operations. Queue non-urgent work for off-peak processing.

Step 6: Set Budget Alerts

Configure threshold alerts at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of monthly budget. Auto-disable non-critical features at budget cap.

See detailed implementation for advanced patterns.

Output

• Usage monitoring with alerts
• Per-user quota system
• Optimized AI generation patterns
• Caching layer for API calls
• Budget management with auto-cutoff
