Can this skill assist with database planning?

Yes, it helps define entities, relationships, and invariants, while recommending storage solutions based on specific access patterns and durability requirements.

Is observability included in the design process?

Absolutely. The skill emphasizes logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting signals as core components of the operational readiness checklist.

Does it cover security and compliance?

It includes architectural guidelines for authentication, authorization, least privilege access, and auditability to ensure secure backend deployments.

How does the Backend Design skill help with API development?

It provides explicit guidelines for designing contracts, versioning, and error shapes to ensure consistent, well-documented, and reliable service interfaces.
