Current for Engineers
Integrate link creation and reporting into your own tools with a full REST API, flexible database support, and metrics you can plug into existing monitoring.
Pain points
- Need a documented REST API to embed link creation into other tools
- Deployment needs to fit an existing Docker/Kubernetes workflow
- New services must be observable in an existing monitoring stack
- Database choice needs to match existing infrastructure
How Current helps
- Authenticate API calls with short-lived access tokens and rotating refresh tokens. (JWT Authentication)
- Scrape the built-in Prometheus metrics endpoint from an existing monitoring stack. (Prometheus Metrics)
- Deploy against PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB Galera, or SQLite. (Multi-Database Support)
- Tune per-IP rate limits through the Settings API to match expected load. (Configurable Rate Limiting)
