API
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.
Loads this recipe straight into the wizard — every setting stays editable before you generate anything.

What you get
More from the Vault
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.
