0 of 5 milestones complete

Project Description

Engineer a production-ready API service capable of handling high concurrency. Implement Redis caching layers, token bucket rate limiting, asynchronous worker queues for background jobs, and structured JSON metrics.

Learning Objectives

  • Implement Cache-Aside pattern for database read acceleration.
  • Build sliding-window rate limiting to protect endpoints from traffic spikes.
  • Offload long-running computations to background asynchronous queues.
  • Expose health check and telemetry metrics endpoints.

Technical Requirements & Specifications
