A progressive guide to building production-ready networking in JavaScript, starting from a basic fetch() call and adding patterns like AbortController for cancellation, res.ok checks for HTTP error handling, automatic retries with exponential backoff using the ky library, and advanced patterns including rate limiting, circuit breakers, request coalescing, and multiple caching strategies (HTTP cache headers, in-memory, localStorage-backed). Each concept is demonstrated with a companion ticket queue demo app.
