oraclecloud-sdk-patterns
Production-grade OCI SDK patterns for client lifecycle, retry logic, and memory leak avoidance. Use when building long-running OCI services, fixing memory leaks with Instance Principal auth, or implementing retry/backoff. Trigger with "oci sdk patterns", "oci retry", "oci memory leak", "oraclecloud client lifecycle".

# Oracle Cloud SDK Patterns
## Overview
Production patterns for the OCI Python SDK that avoid the most common pitfalls: memory leaks from Instance Principal authentication (~10 MiB/hour if clients are recreated per request), missing retry logic for 429/500 errors, and timeout misconfiguration across different service clients. The OCI SDK has different timeout defaults depending on the service (Compute: 60s, Object Storage: 300s for uploads), and none of them set connection timeouts by default.
**Purpose:** Provide correct client lifecycle (create once, reuse, close), exponential backoff retry, singleton patterns that prevent the Instance Principal memory leak, and per-service timeout configuration.
## Prerequisites
- **Completed `oraclecloud-install-auth`** — valid `~/.oci/config`
- **Python 3.8+** with `pip install oci`
- Familiarity with OCI service clients (`ComputeClient`, `ObjectStorageClient`, etc.)
