Build production-ready Node.js backend services with Express/Fastify, implementing middleware patterns, error handling, authentication, database integration, and API design best practices. Use when creating Node.js servers, REST APIs, GraphQL backends, or microservices architectures.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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. ## When to Use This Skill - 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 ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices 1. **Use TypeScript**: Type safety prevents runtime errors 2. **Implement proper error handling**: Use custom error classes 3. **Validate input**: Use libraries like Zod or Joi 4. **Use environment variables**: Never hardcode secrets 5. **Implement logging**: Use structured logging (Pino, Winston) 6. **Add rate limiting**: Prevent abuse 7. **Use HTTPS**: Always in production …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/nodejs-backend-patterns@sha256:d52e1150accdc27eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
