nodejs-backend

To build a production-ready Node.js API, implement JWT patterns with refresh tokens, apply input validation, and use TypeScript-based controllers. This Skill provides architecture guidance for secure authentication using Express or NestJS.

Structuring a NestJS backend involves using Prisma for SQL schema modeling and Redis for operational caching. This Skill provides concrete patterns for data persistence and caching to ensure maintainability and scalability.

Yes, you can use Express with TypeScript for lightweight services and Mongoose for MongoDB. For background jobs, this Skill recommends BullMQ queues to handle asynchronous processing effectively.

Yes, this Node.js backend Skill supports Dockerized production deployment and testing. It provides operational guidance for logging, Jest with Supertest for API testing, and Docker configurations for deployment.

Setting up GraphQL authentication involves applying JWT patterns and DTO validation to secure your API. This Skill offers best practices for input validation and security measures like helmet and rate limiting.

Choose NestJS for enterprise applications requiring structured architecture, or Express for lightweight services. This Skill provides framework choices and scaffolding recommendations based on your project's scale and requirements.
