When to Use API Routes
Use API routes when you need:
- Server-side secrets — API keys, database credentials, or tokens that must never reach the client
- Database operations — Direct database queries that shouldn't be exposed
- Third-party API proxies — Hide API keys when calling external services (OpenAI, Stripe, etc.)
- Server-side validation — Validate data before database writes
- Webhook endpoints — Receive callbacks from services like Stripe or GitHub
