backend-nitro-drizzle

What problem does it solve?

Provides step-by-step guidance to build an independent Nitro v3 backend that connects to Neon Postgres and uses Drizzle ORM for type-safe database operations, removing the friction of migrating mock APIs to a production-ready service.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Initialization: Instructions for creating a Nitro v3 project, configuring TypeScript, and adding necessary dependencies and scripts.
• Database Integration: Neon connection guidance, drizzle.config setup, Drizzle schema definitions, migration generation, and Drizzle client initialization patterns.
• API Routing & Validation: File-based Nitro routes, request parsing, Zod-based validation, unified error handling, and middleware examples.
• Operations & Deployment: CRUD examples, transactions, migration workflows, health checks, and deployment targets like Vercel, Railway, Render, Cloudflare, and Node.js server setups.

Quick Start

Create a Nitro v3 project, set NITRO_DATABASE_URL to your Neon pooled connection, define Drizzle schemas, generate and run migrations, and start the dev server with the provided pnpm scripts.
