Choosing between REST, GraphQL, and tRPC requires evaluating your API consumers and project complexity. This framework maps consumer requirements to the most suitable API style, ensuring scalable and consistent service exposure for public APIs and TS monorepos.

Best practices for API versioning and rate-limiting involve applying standardized response formats and access controls. This guidance uses internal references and concrete examples to enforce consistency across public APIs and internal services without requiring external tooling.

Yes, you can use this framework for TypeScript monorepos. It specifically applies to TS monorepos, public APIs, and internal services, guiding decisions on tRPC integration alongside REST and GraphQL to enforce consistency across your stack.

No, you do not need external tooling to enforce OpenAPI consistency. The framework relies entirely on internal references and concrete examples to guide API design decisions, standardize response formats, and enforce rate-limiting rules.

To start standardizing API responses, define your API consumers, choose an API style like REST or GraphQL, and consult the provided references. This quick start approach aligns design decisions for consistent responses, versioning, and rate-limiting.
