Nodejs Backend Typescript
Skill Verified ActiveNode.js backend development with TypeScript, Express/Fastify servers, routing, middleware, and database integration
To serve as a comprehensive guide and knowledge base for developers building modern, production-ready Node.js backends with TypeScript, equipping them with patterns, best practices, and tooling for efficient development.
Features
- Node.js backend development with TypeScript
- Express and Fastify server patterns
- Routing, middleware, and validation strategies
- Database integration with Drizzle ORM and Prisma
- Authentication patterns (JWT, sessions)
- API design (REST, pagination, filtering)
- Environment configuration and type-safe variables
- Testing (Vitest, Supertest) and debugging strategies
- Production deployment patterns (Docker, PM2)
Use Cases
- Building RESTful APIs with TypeScript
- Implementing microservices with Node.js
- Setting up type-safe backend servers
- Integrating databases and handling authentication
- Learning best practices for Node.js backend development
Non-Goals
- Providing a pre-built, installable framework or CLI
- Handling frontend development or deployment directly
- Covering every possible Node.js library or niche use case
Installation
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skillsRuns the Vercel skills CLI (skills.sh) via npx — needs Node.js locally and at least one installed skills-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Assumes the repo follows the agentskills.io format.

Senior Backend Engineer
100Designs and implements backend systems including REST APIs, microservices, database architectures, authentication flows, and security hardening. Use when the user asks to "design REST APIs", "optimize database queries", "implement authentication", "build microservices", "review backend code", "set up GraphQL", "handle database migrations", or "load test APIs". Covers Node.js/Express/Fastify development, PostgreSQL optimization, API security, and backend architecture patterns.
Backend Patterns
99Backend architecture patterns, API design, database optimization, and server-side best practices for Node.js, Express, and Next.js API routes.
Netlify Identity
100Use when the task involves authentication, user signups, logins, password recovery, OAuth providers, role-based access control, or protecting routes and functions. Always use `@netlify/identity`. Never use `netlify-identity-widget` or `gotrue-js` — they are deprecated.
Auth0 Express OAuth2 JWT Bearer
100Use when adding Auth0 token validation to Express or Node.js APIs - integrates express-oauth2-jwt-bearer SDK to protect Node.js API endpoints with JWT Bearer authentication, scope-based RBAC, claim validation, and optional DPoP support
Fastify
97Production Fastify (TypeScript) patterns: schema validation, plugins, typed routes, error handling, security hardening, logging, testing with inject, and graceful shutdown
Nodejs Backend Patterns
95Build production-ready Node.js backend services with Express/Fastify, implementing middleware patterns, error handling, authentication, database integration, and API design best practices. Use when creating Node.js servers, REST APIs, GraphQL backends, or microservices architectures.
