🚀 Performance Optimization

  • Use Caching Headers: Implement Cache-Control and ETag to reduce latency.

🔒 Security Enhancements

  • HTTPS Enforcement: Use Strict-Transport-Security header for secure connections.

- **Rate Limiting**: Prevent DDoS attacks with `X-RateLimit-*` headers.

🧠 Advanced Caching Strategies

  • Cache Partitioning: Use Vary header to differentiate cached responses.
Cache_Memory
- **Stale-While-Revalidate**: Balance performance and freshness with `Cache-Control: stale-while-revalidate`.
Stale_Caching
- **CDN Cache Invalidation**: Automate cache updates using `Cache-Control: max-age=0, must-revalidate`.

🌐 Scalability Techniques

  • Load Balancing: Distribute traffic with X-Forwarded-For and reverse proxies.

- **Asynchronous Processing**: Offload tasks to background workers via `X-Processing-Time`.
Async_Processing
- **Horizontal Scaling**: Add more servers using `X-Server-ID` for session affinity.
