Singleflight Pattern Shared for Concurrent VIN Lookups

Developers are discussing how free VIN decoding endpoints typically forward requests to the NHTSA DecodeVinValues API, which can overload the upstream service when traffic spikes. A proposed singleflight pattern collapses identical concurrent VIN lookups into one request, so duplicate queries share a single result. The approach is being shared as practical advice for TypeScript and API developers building vehicle-related services.
Why now: Developers building vehicle apps are interested in reducing duplicate NHTSA API calls under concurrent load.
