Modern Node.js Backend Stack

About

This skill equips Claude with the expertise to architect and build production-ready Node.js backends using a 2025-ready stack. It prioritizes speed, type safety, and edge compatibility by focusing on lightweight alternatives to legacy tools, such as Hono instead of Express and Drizzle ORM instead of heavy abstractions. Whether you are building enterprise-grade microservices with NestJS or ultra-fast serverless functions with Bun, this skill provides the necessary patterns for migrations, schema design, and ESM-native configurations.
