  • Thorough documentation throughout implementation
  • Database migration executed smoothly

Challenges Faced:​

  • Add rate limiting from the start (not as afterthought)
  • Create API documentation alongside implementation
  • Consider API versioning strategy upfront

🔄 Next Phase​

Phase 2 focuses on:
