Issue of scale with RAWG API service

[ozzythecoder]

A free key from RAWG allows 20,000 requests per month – I exceeded this easily in two weeks of development. Obviously one user will not use nearly as many requests, but this presents a scale issue when a modest number of users use this app at once.

Potential solutions:

• Purchasing a business/enterprise-level key from RAWG to allow more requests
• Optimizing the server code to run fetches less often/store query results in memory
• Imposing a per-user limit on how many requests/recommendations can be viewed in a certain amount of time
• A combination of the above.
