Being production ready

Here are some best practices before launching your application in production.

Checking your server host

Once your application is ready but before going live, please check that you are using the production server host: the cloud.myscript.com host is the production url, whereas the webdemoapi.myscript.com host is reserved for demonstration or testing purpose. If you are using iinkJS, you should check the recognitionParams.server.host you are using. Please refer to the iinkJS configuration.

Subscribing

When registering as a MyScript developer, you get a 2,000 request a month free quota. This should be enough to develop and test your application. To remove this limit, you have to Subscribe your subscription from the Dashboard. As explained in the Pricing section, you will then only pay as you go.

There are no key figures for user usage as it varies too much from an application to another. We recommend you to use the Cloud console while doing a user test to grab the figures on your application Cloud usage.

Controlling your expenses

You can set a blocking limit for the number of requests sent during the month, as well as a warning threshold to get an email when the blocking limit is about to be reached.

For example, you can set 50,000 requests as the blocking monthly limit, and 40,000 requests as the warning threshold. No more requests will be accepted when the blocking limit is reached. You can define the warning threshold and the blocking limit at any time in your dashboard.

Your user will not be able to use MyScript technology, once the blocking limit is reached.

Securing your application

Filters are powerful features accessible from your Cloud dashboard. In the Application list, choose the one that your application is currently configured with. Filter configuration is accessible on the bottom right of the screen.

Before deploying into production you have to configure a filter on IP address or Referer. Both accept valid JAVA regexp as input. After setting up a filter, all requests that do no match the filter will be rejected and will not be charged.
