🚧 Challenges I Faced

Synchronizing real-time updates between the backend and frontend while ensuring the AI stays up-to-date for accurate traffic analysis and queries.
Designing efficient MongoDB aggregation pipelines to support the dashboard’s data structure requirements.
Building APIs for historical comparisons, allowing users to analyze API traffic and scan reports from any time, even up to a year ago.
Optimizing database requests, reducing queries from multiple per minute to a single batch request per hour—cutting server load to just 24 requests per day.
Heavily refining AI behavior to ensure it provides accurate, relevant responses without unexpected deviations while staying aligned with security objectives.
