API Changelog & Deprecation Notice Service
Tracks API version changes and surfaces deprecation notices to integrators — distinct from the Developer Portal recipe: that's onboarding docs, this is telling existing integrators something is about to break.

API Documentation & Developer Portal Backend
Hosting OpenAPI specs and self-service API key issuance for external developers — distinct from the Public API Product recipe: that one meters and rate-limits usage; this one is the docs/onboarding surface a developer sees before they ever make a call.

API Gateway & Rate Limiter
A lightweight reverse-proxy layer with Redis-backed rate limiting, meant to sit in front of whatever backend you already have — not another full API of its own. The thing every API ends up needing once real traffic (or one bad actor) shows up.

Deno + Postgres + Redis: Edge API Starter
A modern edge-friendly API backend: Deno's secure-by-default runtime with native TypeScript, Postgres for relational data, and Redis for caching and rate limiting at the edge.

Deno + Redis: Edge Function Router / Dispatch Gateway
Routes requests to different edge functions based on path/header rules, Redis holding routing config for fast lookups — distinct from rate-limiting gateways: this is about dispatch/routing to the right function, not throttling traffic to one backend.

Go + Postgres + Redis: Multi-tenant Rate-Limited API Gateway
Per-tenant quotas and rate limits in front of a multi-tenant SaaS backend, tenant identity resolved from Postgres, limits enforced via Redis — distinct from the general API Gateway & Rate Limiter recipe: that's single-tenant, this is quota isolation between customers sharing one deployment.

GraphQL API
Node API service with Postgres, sized for a GraphQL server (Apollo, Yoga, or similar) instead of assuming REST.

OAuth / Connected-Apps Management Backend
Being an OAuth provider for third-party apps connecting to YOUR platform — app registration, scopes, and token issuance. Distinct from the Public API Product and Dev Portal recipes: those are about developers calling your API directly; this is 'Sign in with [Your Platform]' for other people's apps.
by @ops
Public API Product Starter
For when the API IS the product: API key issuance, per-key tiered rate limits, and usage tracking in Postgres + Redis. Distinct from the API Gateway recipe — that's a proxy in front of an existing backend; this is a complete API product with developer-facing accounts.

Rust + Postgres + Meilisearch
A Rust API backed by Postgres with Meilisearch for fast, typo-tolerant full-text search.
