# Node.js Backend Patterns Comprehensive guidance for building scalable, maintainable, and production-ready Node.js backend applications with modern frameworks, architectural patterns, and best practices. ## Use this skill when - Building REST APIs or GraphQL servers - Creating microservices with Node.js - Implementing authentication and authorization - Designing scalable backend architectures - Setting up middleware and error handling - Integrating databases (SQL and NoSQL) - Building real-time applications with WebSockets - Implementing background job processing ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to node.js backend patterns - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
