backend-architect SKILL.md skillA

backend-architect from gastonchevarria/god-mode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/backend-architect@git:20261014.522e28a

Pins git:20261014.522e28a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Designs scalable backends: database schema, Redis caching, queues (Celery, BullMQ, Kafka), webhook delivery, rate limits. Use for 'design the backend' or 'how should I structure the database'.

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

# Backend Architect (Scalable Backend Systems)

## Overview

A resilient backend balances compute speed, database throughput, and asynchronous background operations. `backend-architect` provides the system design blueprints for high-throughput, fault-tolerant web applications and APIs.

## Core Architectural Patterns

### 1. Database Indexing & Query Optimization
- Index all foreign keys, query filters (`WHERE status = 'active'`), and composite sort columns (`WHERE user_id = X ORDER BY created_at DESC`).
- Prevent N+1 query antipatterns using eager loading (`select_related` / `joinedload` / Prisma `include`).

### 2. Multi-Layer Caching (Redis)
- **Cache-Aside Pattern**: Read from cache -> If miss, fetch DB -> Write to cache with TTL.
- **Cache Invalidation**: Event-driven invalidation on data mutation rather than relying solely on high TTLs.

### 3. Asynchronous Worker & Queue Topology
- Decouple user-facing web request threads from heavy operations: PDF extraction, video processing, LLM generation, batch emails.
- Push jobs to background queues with retry policies, backoff multipliers, and Dead Letter Queues (DLQ).

### 4. Webhook Ingestion & Egress

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/backend-architect@sha256:b1f472365179ab9c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.522e28a, 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.
