How will you develop it?🤩

I have already developed it, and its hosted on Netlify: https://visitor-counter-api.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/counter/

But for further clarity, I am giving a brief description, how I developed and hosted it:

1. Design the API Structure:

   • Define the endpoints (GET / and OPTIONS /) and their functionalities.

2. Set Up Serverless Environment:

   • Choose a serverless platform (Netlify) for hosting the API.

3. Database Integration:

   • Select Redis Cloud for managing the counter data.
   • Configure the connection to the Redis database.

4. Implement API Logic:

   • Write the logic to handle incrementing, resetting, and retrieving the counter value.
   • Implement error handling for database interactions.

5. Enable CORS:

   • Ensure CORS support to handle cross-origin requests.

6. Environment Configuration:

   • Use environment variables to store sensitive data (e.g., Redis credentials).

7. Local Development and Testing:

   • Develop and test the API locally using tools like Netlify CLI.

8. Deployment:

   • Deploy the API to Netlify and configure environment variables through the dashboard.

9. Documentation and Maintenance:

   • Document the API endpoints, environment variables, and error handling.
   • Plan for ongoing maintenance and updates.
