Worked on the freelawproject/courtlistener repository to deliver a REST API rate limits configuration enhancement aimed at improving API usage governance and service reliability. Focused on backend development using Python, the work involved updating the REST framework settings to implement granular rate limits for different user account types. This approach provided better protection against burst traffic and ensured fair usage across public and partner integrations. The process included validating the new configuration through code reviews and integration tests, as well as preparing rollout documentation. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with efforts concentrated on robust feature delivery and deployment readiness.
