Preguntas frecuentes
Why use UUIDs instead of auto-increment IDs in APIs?
UUIDs prevent enumeration attacks (can't guess /users/2 from /users/1), work in distributed systems without coordination, and don't leak information about your data volume.
Should API keys or JWTs be used for auth?
API keys for server-to-server and simple integrations. JWTs for user authentication with claims/scopes. Many APIs use API keys for identification + JWTs for authorization.
