• Add logging
  • Log as much information as possible around any exceptions thrown
• Use HTTPS instead of HTTP
• Use the resilience framework Polly to make the web requests to Pokeapi and Funtranslation APIs more fault tolerant. Polly can be installed using Nuget.
• Consider adding caching in the following ways:
  • cache data received from Pokeapi and Funtranslation APIs. A third party library could be used to implement this (eg: Polly).
  • set cache-control header on responses which can be used by client side caches.
  • cache outgoing responses in a shared cache.
• Consider using a single endpoint for both endpoints implemented so far. Since these endpoints are returning different representations of the same resource, the use of a vendor-specific media type may be preferable to multiple endpoints.
• Add Swagger documentation and UI.
