Systems, methods, and devices for improved application program interface management in a cloud-computing environment

A method comprising:

• detecting a first action comprising an event at a user interface associated with an on-demand application hosted by a computing platform;
• making, using a first application program interface (API), an asynchronous call for a data record in response to detecting the first action, the asynchronous call being made to a storage location of the computing platform;
• detecting a second action associated with the on-demand application;
• determining if a synchronous call should be performed using a second API, the synchronous call being made in response to determining that a cache does not include the data record;
• and
• generating a result responsive to the second action.

A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising instructions configurable to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• detecting a first action comprising an event at a user interface associated with an on-demand application hosted by a computing platform;
• making, using a first application program interface (API), an asynchronous call for a data record in response to detecting the first action, the asynchronous call being made to a storage location of the computing platform;
• detecting a second action associated with the on-demand application;
• determining if a synchronous call should be performed using a second API, the synchronous call being made in response to determining that a cache does not include the data record;
• and
• generating a result responsive to the second action.
