API abuse is one of those problems most teams ignore until it becomes a production incident.
Things I’ve seen repeatedly:
- accidental DDoS from clients
- brute-force attempts
- badly configured rate limits
- last-minute fixes under pressure
I’m building a small, focused starter kit for Go that helps backend engineers add:
- rate limiting
- abuse prevention patterns
- safe production defaults
No dashboards.
No UI.
No over-engineering.
This is early access and I’m validating demand before finishing the full kit.
Feedback welcome.
