Summary of Changes
Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1 ! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request primarily focuses on synchronizing the API documentation with the newly implemented rate limiting backend feature. It introduces a dedicated documentation page for rate limiting, updates existing architectural and feature overviews to reference it, and adds new environment variables for its configuration. Additionally, the default JWT expiry duration has been adjusted and documented.
Highlights
- New Rate Limiting Documentation Page: A comprehensive new documentation page (
src/content/docs/api-server/features/rate-limiting.mdx) has been added, detailing the API server's built-in rate limiting feature. This includes an explanation of how it works, the two distinct configurations (sensitive endpoint and general data API limiting), how roles can bypass limits, configuration options, and the error response for exceeding limits. - Documentation Updates for Rate Limiting: Existing documentation files have been updated to reflect the new rate limiting feature. This includes adding a navigation link in
astro.config.mjs, documenting the429 Too Many Requestserror code insrc/content/docs/api-server/architecture/error-handling.mdx, describing the rate limiting middleware insrc/content/docs/api-server/architecture/middleware.mdx, and adding a feature card for rate limiting on the main features overview page (src/content/docs/api-server/features/index.mdx). - New Rate Limiting Environment Variables: The environment variables guide (
src/content/docs/api-server/guides/configure-environment-variables.mdx) has been updated to include new variables for configuring rate limits:RATE_LIMIT_REQUEST_CODE_LIMIT,RATE_LIMIT_REQUEST_CODE_WINDOW_HOURS,RATE_LIMIT_DATA_API_LIMIT, andRATE_LIMIT_DATA_API_WINDOW_MINUTES. Cautionary notes regarding security and cost implications are also included. - JWT Expiry Default Update: The default value for
JWT_EXPIRY_HOURSin the environment variables guide (src/content/docs/api-server/guides/configure-environment-variables.mdx) has been changed from1hour to720hours (1 month), along with a new caution note explaining the balance between security, user experience, and email costs.

Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation to reflect the new rate-limiting feature. The changes are comprehensive, adding a new feature page, updating related architecture documents, and documenting the new environment variables. My review focuses on ensuring consistency and clarity across all updated documentation. I've identified a few inconsistencies and one case of incomplete documentation that should be addressed to improve the quality of the docs.

There's an inconsistency in the documentation regarding which roles bypass rate limiting. This file states that only admin users bypass the limit, while the new rate-limiting.mdx page says that both admin and publisher roles bypass it.
Assuming rate-limiting.mdx has the correct information, this line should be updated to include the publisher role for consistency.
- **Rate Limiting:** If the user is not an admin or publisher, it applies a rate limit based on the user's ID. If the limit is exceeded, it aborts with a `429 Too Many Requests` error.
