Does it include security best practices?

Yes, it covers the implementation of Helmet, CORS, JWT-based authentication, and schema validation using Zod.

What architectural pattern does this skill promote?

It implements a Layered Architecture consisting of Controllers, Services, and Repositories to ensure a clean separation of concerns.

Does this skill support TypeScript?

Yes, all patterns and examples are optimized for TypeScript to ensure type safety and production-grade code quality.

Which Node.js frameworks are supported?

The skill provides specialized patterns for both Express.js (minimalist) and Fastify (high-performance).

Is this suitable for microservices?

Absolutely. The modular patterns and dependency injection configurations are specifically designed to scale across microservices architectures.

API Development

Builds production-ready Node.js backend services using Express or Fastify with scalable architectural patterns.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for architecting and building maintainable Node.js backend applications. It facilitates the implementation of industry-standard patterns such as layered architecture (Controller-Service-Repository) and dependency injection, alongside production-ready boilerplate for Express and Fastify. Whether you are developing REST APIs, GraphQL servers, or microservices, this skill ensures best practices for security, middleware, error handling, and database integration are consistently applied throughout your codebase.

Key Features

Layered architecture implementation (Controller, Service, Repository)
Dependency injection patterns for modular and testable codebases
Type-safe middleware for JWT authentication and Zod validation
2 GitHub stars
Production-ready Express and Fastify boilerplate with security defaults
Scalable database integration patterns for SQL and NoSQL systems

Use Cases

Developing secure and scalable REST APIs for enterprise applications
Refactoring minimalist Express apps into structured, maintainable codebases
Architecting microservices with standardized error handling and logging
