Overview

Introduction​

Our API is built using Hono, a fast and lightweight web framework designed to handle API requests efficiently. The API adheres to RESTful principles, ensuring a consistent and intuitive interface for users. It integrates Redis for rate limiting and caching, enhancing performance and preventing abuse. The architecture is structured to be easily extendable and secure.

Features​

1. Hono Framework​

  • Lightweight and Fast: Hono is optimized for speed and minimal overhead, making it ideal for serverless environments like Cloudflare Workers.
  • Web Standards Compliance: Built on web standards, Hono ensures compatibility across different platforms.

2. Protected Routes​

  • Security via Middlewares: The API uses middlewares to protect routes from unauthorized access. This includes authentication and authorization checks to ensure only authorized users can access sensitive data.

3. Redis-based Rate Limiting​

  • Preventing Abuse: Redis is used to implement rate limiting, preventing excessive requests from a single source and protecting against potential attacks.

4. Authentication Middleware​

  • Protecting Routes: Authentication middleware ensures that only authenticated users can access protected routes.

5. Integration with TanStack Query​

  • Efficient Data Fetching and Mutations: TanStack Query is used to optimize data fetching and mutations, reducing unnecessary requests and improving overall performance.

Base URL​

The base URL of the API varies depending on the environment:

  • Development: http://localhost:3000/api
  • Production: <your-deployed-url>/api
