I’m building a small API abuse prevention starter kit for Go (early access)

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.
