Tools Used

• Data Pipeline Throughput
  Primary

  Estimate API throughput capacity for infrastructure sizing.

• Inference Latency
  Primary

  Set latency SLA targets for API response times.

Reference Materials

• Validate Everything

  Unvalidated API inputs are the most common source of security vulnerabilities.

• OpenAPI First

  Define your API contract in OpenAPI spec before writing code — catches design issues early.

• Managed Auth

  Auth0 or Clerk free tiers handle authentication so you do not build it from scratch.
