async-sema VS Micro

Using a throttling mechanism would be the more elegant way to deal with this issue. In computer science there's the concept of a semaphore which describes a way to control access to a common resource by multiple processes. There is a library which implements that and allows you to limit the maximum parallel requests. The code would look something like this:

At the time we were listing projects like Hyper and Micro alongside our other better known ones. As those projects became less of a focus, I believe someone with good intentions in the team wanted to prioritize the ones we contribute to instead that are relevant to our frontend focus, and not confuse our audience.

micro: A library for asynchronous HTTP microservices.

What is great about Next.js is the ability to create API Routes. This could be really useful in a lot of situations, especially if you have a sprawling REST API endpoint and want a minimal set of data returned from it, you could massage that data down to only the content you need on your frontend. In fact, Next.js has it's own express-like server-side framework called Micro.

That is an option. You could also opt to use the server micro that powers nextjs alone by itself https://github.com/vercel/micro , assuming you don't need to produce a frontend for it. I generally don't use nextjs api routes so I'm not sure what you'd lose/gain with that route though.

The function runtime is based on a fast, and lightweight HTTP library called micro. To use kazi, you first have to install it via npm. Run the command npm i -g @kazi-faas/cli to install it.

You're going to build your first image using the pack CLI. Go to buildpacks.io/docs/tools/pack and follow the instruction for your OS to install it. You're going to create and deploy a Node.js web app that will return a string. Run the command below to create the project and install micro (an HTTP library for building microservices)

I don't see what benefit it brings. You can use micro directly and save yourself from installing megabytes of dependencies. Next JS API routes are handled via micro.

The wonderful team of vercel has exactly what we need to run this thing, it is package called micro. You can install it using the menu on the side bar. Click on the little icon that looks like a box, and then search for micro. Select the package and click the plus sign.
