SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Establishes a repeatable, architecture-first approach for building Design Token Manager APIs with Node.js/Express, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, ensuring consistent patterns across routes, controllers, and data access.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-Layer Architecture (Routes → Controllers → DAL → Prisma → PostgreSQL) to separate concerns.
  • Enforces multi-tenant data isolation on every query with tenantContext-aware DAL.
  • Standardized patterns for authentication, error handling, validation, and testing.
  • Guidelines for Prisma usage, transactions, and performance considerations.

Quick Start

Apply these standards when scaffolding new API routes or refactoring existing ones to ensure multi-tenant isolation, consistent error handling, and aligned DAL usage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce multi-tenant data isolation in a Node.js Express API?▼

Multi-tenant data isolation in a Node.js Express API is enforced by applying a tenantContext-aware Data Access Layer to every Prisma and PostgreSQL query, ensuring strict separation across tenants and projects.

What is the best way to structure routes and controllers for a multi-tenant API?▼

The best way to structure a multi-tenant API is using a three-layer architecture: Routes handle HTTP requests, Controllers manage business logic, and a DAL manages Prisma and PostgreSQL data access, ensuring clear separation of concerns.

How does Prisma handle multi-tenant queries with PostgreSQL?▼

Prisma handles multi-tenant PostgreSQL queries by routing all data access through a tenantContext-aware DAL, which automatically applies isolation filters to every database transaction and query.

Can I use these API development standards for refactoring existing Node.js applications?▼

Yes, you can apply these API development standards when refactoring existing Node.js applications to ensure consistent DAL usage, standardized error handling, and aligned multi-tenant data isolation patterns.

Do I need a separate Data Access Layer for multi-tenant Express APIs?▼

Yes, a separate Data Access Layer is required for multi-tenant Express APIs to enforce tenantContext-aware query isolation, standardize Prisma transactions, and maintain clear separation from controller business logic.
