Configure Adobe Commerce (Magento) async bulk REST API for high-volume product attribute updates with error handling and retry

Verified steps
Compose a bulk REST request body as a JSON array of individual attribute update operations (each targeting a specific SKU and attribute set) and submit it to the async bulk endpoint
Retrieve the bulk operation UUID returned in the response and use it to poll the bulk-operations status endpoint until all individual operations report a status of Complete or Retriable Error
Parse the status response for operations in Retriable Error or Failed state, extracting the error message and affected SKU from the serialized_data field
Resubmit failed individual operations as a new smaller bulk request after correcting the underlying data issue identified in the error message
Monitor the Magento queue consumer process (bin/magento queue:consumers:start async.operations.all) to ensure the consumer is running and processing the queue without backlog
After bulk completion, trigger a partial Magento cache flush targeting the product cache type via the cache management API to reflect updated attributes on the storefront
Known gotchas
The async bulk endpoint accepts operations immediately but actual processing depends on the queue consumer being active; a stopped consumer leaves operations stuck in Open state indefinitely
Magento serializes each bulk operation's request body as a string in the database; extremely large attribute payloads can exceed the column size limit and cause silent truncation
Partial failure of a bulk request does not roll back successful operations; treat each operation atomically and design the retry logic to be idempotent for already-completed SKUs
