Options you can add
• Performance: Redis caching, pagination and background tasks
• Protection: rate limiting, API keys for partners, security headers and an audit log
• Resilience: retries, timeouts and circuit breakers for the outside services you call
• Integrations: payments, e-mail and third-party APIs
• Operations: structured logs, health checks, metrics and a CI pipeline
• Versioning: /api/v1 endpoints, so the API can grow without breaking your apps
• Deployment: Docker on your server or a cloud platform, behind HTTPS
