• Rate Limiting: Protect endpoints from abuse with configurable rate limits.
• Security Headers: Harden your application by adding crucial security headers.
• Request Logging: Implement detailed request logging with unique IDs and response times for better traceability.
• Use Case: You're building a Flask API that will be consumed by a React frontend on a different domain. You need to configure CORS, protect sensitive endpoints with rate limiting, and ensure all requests are logged for auditing.
