backend-guidelines

What problem does it solve?

Establishes consistency and best practices across backend microservices (blog-api, auth-service, notifications-service) using modern Node.js/Express/TypeScript patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Clear architecture guidelines for routes, controllers, services, repositories, and middleware.
• Standards for error handling, input validation with Zod, Sentry integration, and dependency injection.
• Real-world use: ensures scalable backend teams adopt uniform patterns across microservices.

Quick Start

Implement a new backend feature following the New Backend Feature Checklist and New Microservice Checklist, ensuring routes delegate to controllers, controllers extend BaseController, services use DI, and Prisma, Sentry, and unifiedConfig are wired properly.
