mondalsurojit commented 6 days ago

Brief Description 🤓

This project is a serverless API hosted on Netlify using Redis Cloud as the database. The API allows for managing a simple counter that can be incremented, reset, or retrieved on page load. It supports CORS for cross-origin requests.

How will you develop it?🤩

I have already developed it, and its hosted on Netlify: https://visitor-counter-api.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/counter/

But for further clarity, I am giving a brief description, how I developed and hosted it:

  1. Design the API Structure:

    • Define the endpoints (GET / and OPTIONS /) and their functionalities.

  2. Set Up Serverless Environment:

    • Choose a serverless platform (Netlify) for hosting the API.

  3. Database Integration:

    • Select Redis Cloud for managing the counter data.
    • Configure the connection to the Redis database.

  4. Implement API Logic:

    • Write the logic to handle incrementing, resetting, and retrieving the counter value.
    • Implement error handling for database interactions.

  5. Enable CORS:

    • Ensure CORS support to handle cross-origin requests.

  6. Environment Configuration:

    • Use environment variables to store sensitive data (e.g., Redis credentials).

  7. Local Development and Testing:

    • Develop and test the API locally using tools like Netlify CLI.

  8. Deployment:

    • Deploy the API to Netlify and configure environment variables through the dashboard.

  9. Documentation and Maintenance:

    • Document the API endpoints, environment variables, and error handling.
    • Plan for ongoing maintenance and updates.
