Am I creating my APIs the right way??

[bipanshu-kumar]

Hey everyone

I've been developing an API with Node.js and Express for a while now and deploying it to Vercel. I'm starting to wonder if there are best practices or alternatives. What should I consider for API development and deployment? Am I following best practices or can my API be improved? I'd love to hear any feedback, tips, or suggestions on options and best practices to make my API more efficient and scalable.

So, you've got your Node.js and Express API up and running, that's awesome! You've got a solid foundation. But, like any good thing, there's always room for improvement, especially when it comes to performance and scalability.
Here are a few tips to level up your API:

-First, divide your API into smaller, more manageable modules. This makes it easier to understand, test, and scale.
-Node.js is all about non-blocking operations. Use promises or async/await to handle multiple requests efficiently.

Write unit and integration tests to ensure your API works as expected.

Protect your API from attacks by validating input, sanitizing output, and securing authentication.
