Which versioning methods does it support?

The skill covers URL-based, header-based, and query parameter versioning, recommending the best approach based on your routing and testing needs.

How does this skill help with API security?

It provides implementation patterns for JWT authentication, RBAC authorization, and input validation to protect your services from common vulnerabilities.

Can I use this for monitoring production APIs?

Yes, it includes blueprints for health check endpoints, structured logging, and key performance metrics to track API health and latency.

Does it include rate limiting code?

Yes, it provides Python-based implementation patterns for rate limiters and defines standard HTTP headers for communicating quotas to clients.

API Development

Architects robust, production-ready API systems by implementing versioning, security, rate limiting, and observability best practices.

About

This skill empowers developers to design and implement resilient API infrastructures that follow industry standards for security and scalability. It provides specific guidance on authentication patterns like JWT and RBAC, rate-limiting strategies to prevent abuse, standardized error handling, and comprehensive monitoring to ensure production stability. Whether you are transitioning from a monolithic system or refining a microservices architecture, this skill ensures your API is secure, well-documented, and easy to maintain across its entire lifecycle.
