backend-development

Build robust backend systems with modern technologies (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust), frameworks (NestJS, FastAPI, Django), databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis), APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), authentication (OAuth 2.1, JWT), testing strategies, security best practices (OWASP Top 10), performance optimization, scalability patterns (microservices, caching, sharding), DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD), and monitoring. Use when designing APIs, implementing authentication, optimizing database queries, setting up CI/CD pipelines, handling security vulnerabilities, building microservices, or developing production-ready backend systems.

Backend Development Skill

Production-ready backend development with modern technologies, best practices, and proven patterns.

When to Use

Designing RESTful, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs
Building authentication/authorization systems
Optimizing database queries and schemas
Implementing caching and performance optimization
OWASP Top 10 security mitigation
Designing scalable microservices
Testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E)
CI/CD pipelines and deployment
Monitoring and debugging production systems

Technology Selection Guide

Languages: Node.js/TypeScript (full-stack), Python (data/ML), Go (concurrency), Rust (performance) Frameworks: NestJS, FastAPI, Django, Express, Gin Databases: PostgreSQL (ACID), MongoDB (flexible schema), Redis (caching) APIs: REST (simple), GraphQL (flexible), gRPC (performance)

See: references/backend-technologies.md for detailed comparisons

Reference Navigation

Core Technologies:

backend-technologies.md - Languages, frameworks, databases, message queues, ORMs
backend-api-design.md - REST, GraphQL, gRPC patterns and best practices

Security & Authentication:

backend-security.md - OWASP Top 10 2025, security best practices, input validation
backend-authentication.md - OAuth 2.1, JWT, RBAC, MFA, session management

Performance & Architecture:

backend-performance.md - Caching, query optimization, load balancing, scaling
backend-architecture.md - Microservices, event-driven, CQRS, saga patterns

Quality & Operations:

backend-mindset.md - Problem-solving, architectural thinking, collaboration

Key Best Practices (2025)

Security: Argon2id passwords, parameterized queries (98% SQL injection reduction), OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, rate limiting, security headers

Performance: Redis caching (90% DB load reduction), database indexing (30% I/O reduction), CDN (50%+ latency cut), connection pooling

Testing: 70-20-10 pyramid (unit-integration-E2E), Vitest 50% faster than Jest, contract testing for microservices, 83% migrations fail without tests

DevOps: Blue-green/canary deployments, feature flags (90% fewer failures), Kubernetes 84% adoption, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, OpenTelemetry tracing

Quick Decision Matrix

Need	Choose
Fast development	Node.js + NestJS
Data/ML integration	Python + FastAPI
High concurrency	Go + Gin
Max performance	Rust + Axum
ACID transactions	PostgreSQL
Flexible schema	MongoDB
Caching	Redis
Internal services	gRPC
Public APIs	GraphQL/REST
Real-time events	Kafka

Implementation Checklist

API: Choose style → Design schema → Validate input → Add auth → Rate limiting → Documentation → Error handling

Database: Choose DB → Design schema → Create indexes → Connection pooling → Migration strategy → Backup/restore → Test performance

Security: OWASP Top 10 → Parameterized queries → OAuth 2.1 + JWT → Security headers → Rate limiting → Input validation → Argon2id passwords

Testing: Unit 70% → Integration 20% → E2E 10% → Load tests → Migration tests → Contract tests (microservices)

Deployment: Docker → CI/CD → Blue-green/canary → Feature flags → Monitoring → Logging → Health checks

code-review

Free

Use when receiving code review feedback (especially if unclear or technically questionable), when completing tasks or major features requiring review before proceeding, or before making any completion/success claims. Covers three practices - receiving feedback with technical rigor over performative agreement, requesting reviews via code-reviewer subagent, and verification gates requiring evidence before any status claims. Essential for subagent-driven development, pull requests, and preventing false completion claims.
