request-pipeline

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you configure the request processing pipeline in Node.js backends, covering both Express and NestJS architectures, ensuring correct middleware order, security, tracing, and rate limiting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unified guidance for NestJS lifecycle (middlewares, guards, interceptors, pipes, exception filters) and Express middleware ordering.
• Essential middleware snippets for correlation IDs, CORS, request logging, rate limiting, and authentication.
• Best‑practice guards, interceptors, and rate‑limiting implementations for secure, performant APIs.
• Gotchas checklist to avoid common pitfalls such as insecure CORS, missing correlation IDs, or misplaced middleware.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to set up a complete request pipeline for a new Express API with correlation ID, CORS, logger, rate limiting, and error handling.
