To write a solid API feature that is secure, scalable, and easy to use, focus on these five core pillars: 1. Robust Input Validation & Sanitization
: Limit the number of calls a single API key or IP address can make per minute/hour.
A feature is only "solid" if others can use it correctly without constant help.
: Use tools like Joi or Zod to enforce data types, lengths, and formats (e.g., ensuring an email is actually an email).
