Best Practices

Learn from our experience and follow industry best practices to optimize your RexZ Cloud infrastructure for performance, security, and reliability.

Pro Tip: Start with security best practices first, then optimize for performance. A secure but slower system is better than a fast but vulnerable one.

API Key Management

Store API keys securely using environment variables or secret management services.

Never commit API keys to version control
Use environment variables for sensitive data
Rotate API keys regularly (every 90 days)
Implement proper access controls and permissions

Network Security

Configure firewalls and network access controls properly.

Use VPN for administrative access
Configure firewall rules to allow only necessary ports
Enable DDoS protection for public-facing services
Implement rate limiting on API endpoints

Data Encryption

Encrypt data both in transit and at rest.

Use SSL/TLS for all communications
Enable database encryption at rest
Implement proper certificate management
Use strong encryption algorithms (AES-256)
