From "Simple Form" to Full Pure Backend Auth API—Here’s What I Learned
I thought building a form would be easy. Spoiler: I was wrong.
What started as a basic CRUD app quickly spiraled into a deep dive into:
✔️ Token-based authentication (JWT)
✔️ Password hashing & encryption
✔️ Role-based access control
✔️ Redis-rate-limiting
And some other cool features
Turns out, the "Login with Google" button I mindlessly click every day? Way more complex under the hood.
I built this Auth API to demystify the process with security, docs, and scalability in mind. Perfect for devs who:
🔹 Want to see auth workflows stripped bare
🔹 Need a reference for their next project

Question for you:
What’s the most "simple" feature that surprised you with its complexity?
