Security at StatikAPI
I’m a solo developer building StatikAPI with a security-first mindset. Rather than promising enterprise buzzwords, I keep things simple, rely on well-trusted platforms, and practice data-minimization. Here’s what that means in practice:
Transport & Hosting
All traffic is served over HTTPS. When you deploy your static JSON to your own host (e.g., Cloudflare Pages/R2, Netlify, GitHub Pages, S3), your data at rest is encrypted according to that provider’s platform defaults. StatikAPI itself outputs plain JSON files—no server process required—reducing attack surface and runtime risk.
Minimal Surface Area
The open-source CLI builds static files locally and doesn’t collect your data. Static hosting plus cache-first delivery keeps runtime complexity near zero. Fewer moving parts means fewer places for things to go wrong.
Dependencies & Updates
I keep dependencies current, apply security patches promptly, and use automated checks (lockfile hygiene, vulnerability scans) during development. Simplicity in architecture helps updates stay small and auditable.
Authentication & Private Endpoints
Private endpoints, API keys, and per-token rate limits are planned for the hosted platform, StatikAPI Cloud (coming soon — join the waitlist). The open-source tool does not gate or proxy your data; you control where and how it’s hosted.
Data Practices & Compliance
StatikAPI is designed for data-minimization. You choose the hosting location and retention policy of your JSON outputs. For StatikAPI Cloud, I’m aiming to align with common privacy frameworks (e.g., GDPR/CCPA) and will document data handling, subprocessors, and DPAs before launch (coming soon — join the waitlist).
Incidents & Transparency
If something goes wrong, I’ll communicate clearly and promptly: what happened, what’s affected, and remediation steps. A public status page and audit log exports for StatikAPI Cloud are on the roadmap (coming soon — join the waitlist).
