Not every endpoint should be public. Not every token should have full access.
In Alozza, I implemented Bearer token authentication with middleware enforcement. Each API key is tied to specific permissions and usage limits.
Daily API limits are enforced using middleware logic. If limits are exceeded, the system returns a 429 response.
Specific endpoints can be protected individually. Licensing validation endpoints differ from CMS endpoints.
Security is not optional. It is architectural.
