What are your biggest struggles with deploying and managing backend APIs?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on backend APIs using Node.js and TypeScript for a while, and I keep running into certain challenges—like deployment workflows, scaling issues, and keeping the client-server types in sync.

I’m curious to know:

1. What are the most frustrating parts of deploying and managing backend APIs for you?
2. Are there specific tools or workflows you wish existed?
3. How do you handle scaling, version control, or third-party integrations?

I’m just trying to better understand the pain points developers face in this area. Your input would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
