Overview
The Authentify It LifePass Studio API is a REST API. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
Backend Error Handling
Centralized error handling via NestJS exception filters.
Critical errors are logged and returned to clients in a structured manner to prevent sensitive information leaks.
Client errors are handled with clear, user-friendly messages.
Logging
Uses NestJS built-in logger to track critical events and errors.
Logs track user actions and incidents.
Logs can be centralized into an external monitoring system for detailed audits and analysis.
Monitoring
DigitalOcean Insights: CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage monitoring
HTTP error monitoring (500, 400, etc.)
Alerts when the server exceeds defined thresholds
We also use Sentry to notify us of critical or unhandled errors. Sentry is linked to both frontend and backend, and alerts are sent via Slack when an unforeseen error is triggered.
