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

## Core Frameworks

### Express.js - Minimalist Framework

**Basic Setup:**

```typescript
import express, { Request, Response, NextFunction } from "express";
import helmet from "helmet";
import cors from "cors";
import compression from "compression";

const app = express();

// Security middleware
app.use(helmet());
app.use(cors({ origin: process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(",") }));
app.use(compression());

// Body parsing
app.use(express.json({ limit: "10mb" }));
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true, limit: "10mb" }));

// Request logging
app.use((req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
