Nodejs Backend Patterns
Skill Verified ActiveBuild 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.
To provide developers with best practices, patterns, and code examples for creating scalable, maintainable, and production-ready Node.js backend applications.
Features
- Build Node.js backend services with Express/Fastify
- Implement middleware patterns
- Handle errors and authentication
- Integrate SQL and NoSQL databases
- Apply API design best practices
Use Cases
- Creating Node.js servers
- Building REST APIs
- Developing GraphQL backends
- Designing microservices architectures
Non-Goals
- Frontend development
- DevOps and deployment automation
- Specific cloud provider configurations
Documentation
- info:Configuration & parameter referenceWhile the SKILL.md provides code examples, it does not explicitly document configuration parameters or environment variables with default values or precedence orders.
Practical Utility
- info:Edge casesWhile the skill covers many patterns, explicit documentation of failure modes and recovery steps for each specific pattern (e.g., database connection failure during transactions) is not detailed.

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.

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
