CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
Illustrates the request journey for a social media post creation API endpoint from input parsing to response, including validation, authentication, rate limiting, database persistence, and notification.
Key decisions
- Validate input and return 422 on invalid payload
- Check authentication and return 401 if missing or invalid
- Enforce rate limiting and return 429 when exceeded
- Commit post to database and return 201 with ID or 500 on failure
When to reuse this
Reuse when designing or documenting REST API endpoints that create user-generated content and require validation, rate limiting, and persistence error handling.
