MSLearning: Optimize network traffic with Microsoft Graph

I work with Microsoft Learning to publish & maintain multiple self-paced learning modules related to Microsoft 365. These modules are primarily used as self-paced study resources for developers preparing to take the MS-600 exam, the only prerequisite to achieve the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Application Developer Associate certification. This is one of those modules.

Microsoft Graph has built-in throttling to protect its resources from being overloaded and unable to respond to requests. When building applications that use Microsoft Graph, you want to ensure the application can react to throttling events. In addition, you should consider implementing strategies to avoid throttling altogether.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:

Explain how Microsoft Graph maintains resource health
Identify when Microsoft Graph throttles requests
Decide the appropriate pattern to address throttled requests
Create queries that mitigate throttling scenarios
