SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide and best practices for developing robust, secure, and maintainable backend systems, addressing common pitfalls and promoting architectural soundness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Guidance: Recommends patterns like layered architecture, modular monoliths, and microservices based on team size and project needs.
  • Code Quality Standards: Enforces anti-slop patterns, consistent error handling, and middleware ordering.
  • Security Best Practices: Covers input validation, authentication, authorization, and essential security headers.
  • Use Case: A new backend service needs to be developed. This Skill will guide the developer through choosing the right architecture, structuring the code layers, implementing secure API endpoints, and ensuring proper error handling and logging.

Quick Start

Use the dev-backend skill to scaffold a new Node.js API project following the Lidge Standard, ensuring proper directory structure and essential configuration files are set up.

Frequently Asked Questions about dev-backend

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What's the best way to structure a production-grade Node.js or Python backend?▼

For a production-grade backend, adopt a layered architecture or modular monolith to separate concerns, enforce anti-slop code quality patterns, and standardize middleware ordering to ensure maintainability and robustness.

How do I implement secure API design and authentication in a new backend service?▼

Implement secure API design by applying strict input validation, configuring authentication and authorization protocols, and setting essential security headers to harden Node.js and Python backend endpoints against vulnerabilities.

When do I need a modular monolith versus microservices for my backend architecture?▼

You need a modular monolith for smaller teams needing simpler deployment, while microservices suit larger teams requiring independent scaling, with the choice based on specific project needs and team size.

How do I scaffold a new Node.js API project following the Lidge Standard?▼

Scaffold a Node.js API project by generating the proper directory structure and essential configuration files according to the Lidge Standard, ensuring baseline maintainability and architectural soundness from the start.

What are the essential error handling and code quality standards for a robust backend?▼

Essential backend code quality standards include consistent error handling across layers, middleware ordering, and anti-slop patterns to prevent unstructured code and ensure system stability during failures.
