In what ways might John's implementation have improved the application's resilience to potential Google Maps API outages or disruptions?

As a Site Reliability Engineer, John would likely have implemented measures to handle potential API disruptions. This could include implementing robust error handling in his wrapper libraries, setting up fallback mechanisms or alternative data sources, and designing the system to gracefully degrade functionality in case of API unavailability. His caching strategy would also help maintain some functionality during short-term outages. John's implementation likely improved the application's resilience to Google Maps API disruptions through robust error handling, potential fallback mechanisms, graceful degradation of functionality, and strategic caching, ensuring the application could maintain core services even during API outages.
