FAQPage Schema
How do I review my API routes for proper RESTful design conventions?▼

Review RESTful API design by evaluating route handlers for correct naming conventions, resource structuring, and API versioning. This ensures endpoints follow standard REST conventions before shipping backend code.

Does this backend architecture review work with Fastify and Hono frameworks?▼

Yes, backend architecture review works with Fastify, Hono, and Express frameworks. It assesses layered separation across routes, controllers, services, and models in server-side business logic regardless of the specific framework used.

What's the best way to enforce separation of concerns in backend controllers?▼

Enforce separation of concerns by assessing layered architecture during API reviews. Validate that routes, controllers, services, and models are properly separated to maintain clean backend architecture and prevent business logic leakage.

How do I validate error handling and authentication in my REST API endpoints?▼

Validate error handling and security by checking API endpoints for authentication, authorization, input validation, and meaningful error responses. This confirms backend routes handle errors securely before deployment.
