Without YouTube I would have never found out about you and what you do. I'm going to tune into your Twitch in the future, but these videos available on YouTube have been invaluable to me, and I really appreciate your taking the time to cultivate this coding garden!

I learnt how to do all this myself and was always nervous that the things I was doing were not best practices and wrong. I feel validated that I was using best practices now lol. Thank you so much.

Wow bro Im a programming beginner and usually pretty slow too, and even though I clicked on this video without even knowing what exactly it is about, I must say I understood everything super clear! You're awesome, thank you!

Another option to consider for the proxy portion of this code is express-http-proxy which will effectively and easily forward/proxy requests to specified path including headers, params, body and similar as a simple middleware. It has plenty of configuration options to rewrite the path or perform actions before/after proxying. There is nothing wrong with axios, but the effort can be simplified using a library like that.

CJ great video this is one of the best tech channels. Have you ever try to apply clean architecture to a project. I would be great to see you how to structure a project.

[tomigmelo]

Very informative video. Quick and easy. Keep up the good work!

you can limit the website CORS or ip/domain restriction i.e. use a api gateway or use ssl 2way ssl. when you register a key tie it to a domain name

Hi, you are great. Yesterday i built a little app which exactly the same problem and i did it like in the video, but you show much more useful things. Thank you :-) It was amazing if you could make a video like this to the following topic: how can our own api more secure? (api key? authentication? json web token? I don't know :-))
