The Blog Aggregator API retrieves blog content from various web sources, including RSS feeds. Data is fetched concurrently by the worker function and parsed for storage in the database. Authentication is managed through API keys provided during user creation. This authentication process is implemented using authenticate middleware, which is added to handlers requiring authentication. PostgreSQL is the chosen database, Goose serves as the migration tool, and Sqlc is utilized to generate type-safe code from SQL.
