✅ Decision Checklist

Before designing an API:

Asked user about API consumers?
Chosen API style for THIS context? (REST/GraphQL/tRPC)
Defined consistent response format?
Planned versioning strategy?
Considered authentication needs?
Planned rate limiting?
Documentation approach defined?

❌ Anti-Patterns

DON'T:

Default to REST for everything
Use verbs in REST endpoints (/getUsers)
Return inconsistent response formats
Expose internal errors to clients
Skip rate limiting

DO:

Choose API style based on context
Ask about client requirements
Document thoroughly
Use appropriate status codes
