How do you keep authentication flows ultra-fast when adding security checks? ⚡
Hey PH community! 👋
When building sign-up and authentication flows, every extra 100ms of latency can lower conversion rates. However, skipping validation checks leaves your platform wide open to bot registrations and disposable email abuse.
When we built MailCheck API, our primary engineering focus was keeping response times under 50ms at the edge so security checks wouldn't impact the onboarding experience.
Questions for the devs here:
What is your acceptable latency threshold for third-party API calls during signup?
Do you run checks asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously before database insertion?
