Tower Middleware Patterns - Spikard HTTP Stack

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to configuring and understanding the various middleware layers within Spikard's HTTP server stack, enabling developers to enhance request processing with features like compression, rate limiting, authentication, and more.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Middleware Configuration: Detailed explanations on enabling and customizing compression, rate limiting, authentication (JWT, API Key), CORS, request ID generation, and timeouts.
• Request Lifecycle Management: Understand how middleware layers are ordered and interact to process incoming requests and outgoing responses.
• Language Bindings: Learn how these middleware configurations are exposed and managed in Node.js and Python.
• Use Case: A developer needs to secure their API with JWT authentication, implement rate limiting to prevent abuse, and ensure all responses are compressed for efficiency. This Skill provides the exact configuration patterns and code examples to achieve this.

Quick Start

Configure Spikard's server to enable JWT authentication with a secret key and set a rate limit of 100 requests per second.
