👉 Invite engineering is a strategic process used in software development, particularly in cloud-native environments, to manage and optimize the flow of invitations (such as API requests or user access) between different services, components, or users. It involves designing and implementing mechanisms that ensure invitations are securely, efficiently, and reliably delivered to the intended recipients while minimizing unnecessary traffic and potential security risks. This can include techniques like rate limiting, authentication, authorization checks, and retry policies to control access and ensure that only authorized entities can trigger or receive specific invitations. By carefully managing these invitations, invite engineering helps maintain system performance, enhance security, and provide a better user experience.
