Steam Review Analytics

Short Description

In this project, I developed an analysis tool that shows review statistics for Steam games, separated by language.

Problem

Viewing Steam reviews based on the overall total is not sufficient. A clearer view was needed, especially for individually examining player comments in different languages.

Solution

I addressed this need with a server-rendered application built using Bun and Hono. The application includes features for game search, an analysis component, a JSON API, and a cache stream for recently searched games. To reduce Steam API calls, I implemented a TTL cache structure, falling back to Redis persistent shared cache if available, or an in-memory cache otherwise.

Result

The outcome is a tool that makes review data, filtered by language, more readable. I also prevented unnecessary API calls for repeated requests for the same game.
