# Overview: Technical Guides

Guides in this section are ready to use scripts in JavaScript, Python and Go that can help you automate your inference buying and consumption on The Grid. These scripts cover common production use cases, such as:

1. [Querying Trading Account and Consumption Account balances](https://thegrid.ai/docs/technical-guides/working-with-trading-and-consumption-balances)
2. [Replenishing consumption balance automatically, to avoid running out of tokens mid-traffic](https://thegrid.ai/docs/technical-guides/replenishing-consumption-account-balance)
3. [Retries and error handling](https://thegrid.ai/docs/technical-guides/retries-and-error-handling)
4. [Batch sequencing for asynchronous, cost optimized workloads](https://thegrid.ai/docs/technical-guides/batch-sequencing-with-limit-orders)

As you move your workloads from other inference providers/aggregators to The Grid, we recommend implementing our [Best Practices](https://thegrid.ai/docs/technical-guides/best-practices) for uninterrupted, efficient and performant inference consumption.
