Is security included by default?

Yes, it provides boilerplate and middleware templates for JWT authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), Helmet security headers, and rate limiting.

Can I use this for microservices?

Absolutely. The skill includes patterns for modular NestJS structures and lightweight Express/Fastify setups suitable for microservice environments.

Does this skill support TypeScript?

Yes, it is specifically designed for type-safe backend development, primarily using TypeScript with Express and NestJS for robust, maintainable code.

How does it handle database connections?

It provides patterns for Prisma ORM, including schema definitions, service-based dependency injection, and best practices for connection pooling.

API Development

Builds scalable server-side applications and APIs using modern Node.js frameworks like Express and NestJS.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for developing robust backend systems, covering everything from initial server setup and middleware implementation to complex database integrations. It standardizes common backend patterns such as authentication, request validation with Zod or class-validator, and global error handling across popular frameworks like Express and NestJS. By integrating with related skills for API design and database management, it ensures that your server-side logic is type-safe, secure, and ready for production-scale traffic.

Key Features

Implements production-ready Express and NestJS application structures
Enforces strict request validation using Zod and NestJS DTOs
Standardizes global error handling and custom exception classes
Provides standardized middleware for authentication, authorization, and rate limiting
1 GitHub stars
Facilitates seamless database integration using Prisma ORM and dependency injection

Use Cases

Migrating a legacy Express service to a structured NestJS module system
Implementing complex authentication flows and role-based access control (RBAC)
Bootstrapping a new RESTful API with automated validation and security middleware
