Does it include security best practices?

Yes, it incorporates essential security features including Helmet, CORS configuration, and JWT-based authentication and authorization patterns.

Does this skill support both Express and Fastify?

Yes, it provides optimized implementation patterns and boilerplate code for both the minimalist Express.js and the high-performance Fastify frameworks.

What architectural pattern does this skill favor?

It emphasizes a clean Layered Architecture, separating concerns into Controllers, Services, and Repositories to ensure code maintainability and testability.

How does it handle input validation?

The skill includes standardized middleware patterns using Zod for robust, type-safe schema validation of request bodies, queries, and route parameters.

Can I use this for microservices architectures?

Absolutely. The modular architectural patterns and built-in dependency injection focus make it ideal for building independent, scalable microservices.
