How do I structure backend routing and database operations in a monorepo?▼

To structure backend development in a monorepo, this skill guides maintainers through routing, service logic, providers, and database operations while enforcing best practices like ESM-style imports and PostgreSQL usage.

What is the best way to ensure database migrations are safe to re-run in PostgreSQL?▼

Idempotent migrations ensure database migrations are safe to re-run, which is crucial for maintaining a stable PostgreSQL database environment without causing duplicate data or errors.

How does Row Level Security enhance backend data protection?▼

Row Level Security (RLS) enhances data protection by enforcing secure access controls directly on database tables, ensuring that backend service logic only queries or modifies authorized data rows.

Do I need the InsForge SDK and PostgreSQL to use this backend development skill?▼

Yes, this backend skill requires both the InsForge SDK and PostgreSQL to manage routing, implement transactional processes, and execute database operations within the monorepo.

Can I use this skill to initialize a new backend project and run tests?▼

Yes, you can use this skill to initialize a new backend project in the InsForge monorepo and run the necessary tests, as it encourages comprehensive unit testing for all new code to ensure reliability.
