Moving from local tools to network services. Let's talk about the architecture and challenges of building a professional Feedback API. In my last posts, I shared the journey of building a CLI tool with a focus on simple architecture and automated testing. It was a success in terms of local automation. But in the real world, software often needs to live on the network. It needs to be available for multiple users, persist data in a database, and handle concurrent requests. That’s why my next project is a Minimalist Feedback API. Here is why I’m building it and the "Senior-level" architectural choices I’m making.
