Security & Performance

• Rate Limiting to prevent abuse and throttling
• CORS Enabled to handle cross-origin requests securely
• ESLint & Prettier for code quality and formatting

Deployment & DevOps

• Dockerized Backend & Web using Docker Compose for easy deployment
• Makefile to consolidate commands

Frontend

• Built with SvelteKit and Vite for modern UI development
• Uses Bootstrap for responsive design and styling

Backend

• Secure and scalable Node.js & Express.js architecture
• Joi Middleware for request validation and data integrity
• API documentation with Swagger
• Retry Mechanism to handle API failures gracefully
• Rate limiting, CORS, Helmet, and Joi validation for security and performance
• Proper test cases with node:test
