🚀 DEPLOYMENT IMPACT
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Breaking Changes: None
|
|
Backward Compatibility: 100%
|
|
Migration Required: No
|
|
Configuration Required: Optional (security features opt-in)
|
|
Performance Impact: <5% overhead
|
|
Memory Impact: Minimal (+2KB for rate limiting tables)
|
|
|
|
Default Behavior:
|
|
----------------
|
|
Before: Server open to all, no authentication
|
|
After: Server open to all, no authentication (SAME!)
|
|
|
|
With Protection:
|
|
---------------
|
|
Set TNT_ACCESS_TOKEN="password"
|
|
→ Now requires authentication
|
|
→ Rate limiting enabled
|
|
→ Connection limits enforced
