5.1 Timeout Resolution System

When you ask VibeMap to perform a large task, like generating all the user stories for a complex project, it can sometimes take longer than the standard timeout limit of a web server. To prevent your work from being lost, VibeMap includes a robust Timeout Resolution System.

What is a Timeout?

A timeout is a limit on how long a server will wait for a task to complete. If a task takes too long, the server will stop it, which could result in an error or incomplete work. This is a common challenge for web applications that perform complex, long-running operations like AI generation.

How VibeMap's System Works

VibeMap's Timeout Resolution System is designed to handle these long-running tasks gracefully, ensuring that your generation processes complete successfully, no matter how large they are.

1. Chunked Processing: Instead of trying to generate everything at once, VibeMap breaks down large tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. For example, if you ask for 50 user stories, the system might process them in batches of 5.

2. Progress Tracking: After each chunk is completed, the system saves the progress to the database. This creates a checkpoint, so the system knows exactly where it left off.

3. Automatic Continuation: The system constantly monitors how close it is to the timeout limit. If it detects that it's running out of time, it automatically saves its current state and triggers a new background task to continue the work from the last checkpoint.

4. Real-time Updates: Throughout this entire process, you will see continuous progress updates on your screen. From your perspective, it looks like a single, seamless operation, even though multiple background tasks may be working together to complete your request.

What This Means for You

• Reliability: You can confidently generate large amounts of project artifacts without worrying about timeouts or losing your work.

• Seamless Experience: You don't need to do anything special to activate this system. It works automatically in the background, providing a smooth and uninterrupted experience.

• Peace of Mind: For very large projects, you can start a generation task and be confident that VibeMap will see it through to completion.
