+# Backend API Design
+
+Comprehensive guide to designing RESTful, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs with best practices (2025).
+
+## REST API Design
+
+### Resource-Based URLs
+
+**Good:**
+```
+GET    /api/v1/users              # List users
+GET    /api/v1/users/:id          # Get specific user
+POST   /api/v1/users              # Create user
+PUT    /api/v1/users/:id          # Update user (full)
+PATCH  /api/v1/users/:id          # Update user (partial)
+DELETE /api/v1/users/:id          # Delete user
+
+GET    /api/v1/users/:id/posts    # Get user's posts
+POST   /api/v1/users/:id/posts    # Create post for user
+```
+
+**Bad (Avoid):**
+```
+GET /api/v1/getUser?id=123        # RPC-style, not RESTful
+POST /api/v1/createUser           # Verb in URL
+GET /api/v1/user-posts            # Unclear relationship
+```
+
+### HTTP Status Codes (Meaningful Responses)
+
+**Success:**
+- `200 OK` - Successful GET, PUT, PATCH
+- `201 Created` - Successful POST (resource created)
+- `204 No Content` - Successful DELETE
+
+**Client Errors:**
+- `400 Bad Request` - Invalid input/validation error
+- `401 Unauthorized` - Missing or invalid authentication
+- `403 Forbidden` - Authenticated but not authorized
+- `404 Not Found` - Resource doesn't exist
+- `409 Conflict` - Resource conflict (duplicate email)
+- `422 Unprocessable Entity` - Validation error (detailed)
+- `429 Too Many Requests` - Rate limit exceeded
+
+**Server Errors:**
+- `500 Internal Server Error` - Generic server error
+- `502 Bad Gateway` - Upstream service error
+- `503 Service Unavailable` - Temporary downtime
+- `504 Gateway Timeout` - Upstream service timeout
+
+### Request/Response Format
+
+**Request:**
+```typescript
+POST /api/v1/users
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "email": "user@example.com",
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "age": 30
+}
+```
+
+**Success Response:**
+```typescript
+HTTP/1.1 201 Created
+Content-Type: application/json
+Location: /api/v1/users/123
+
+{
+  "id": "123",
+  "email": "user@example.com",
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "age": 30,
+  "createdAt": "2025-01-09T12:00:00Z",
+  "updatedAt": "2025-01-09T12:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+**Error Response:**
+```typescript
+HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+    "message": "Invalid input data",
+    "details": [
+      {
+        "field": "email",
+        "message": "Invalid email format",
+        "value": "invalid-email"
+      },
+      {
+        "field": "age",
+        "message": "Age must be between 18 and 120",
+        "value": 15
+      }
+    ],
+    "timestamp": "2025-01-09T12:00:00Z",
+    "path": "/api/v1/users"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pagination
+
+```typescript
+// Request
+GET /api/v1/users?page=2&limit=50
+
+// Response
+{
+  "data": [...],
+  "pagination": {
+    "page": 2,
+    "limit": 50,
+    "total": 1234,
+    "totalPages": 25,
+    "hasNext": true,
+    "hasPrev": true
+  },
+  "links": {
+    "first": "/api/v1/users?page=1&limit=50",
+    "prev": "/api/v1/users?page=1&limit=50",
+    "next": "/api/v1/users?page=3&limit=50",
+    "last": "/api/v1/users?page=25&limit=50"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Filtering and Sorting
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/users?status=active&role=admin&sort=-createdAt,name&limit=20
+
+# Filters: status=active AND role=admin
+# Sort: createdAt DESC, name ASC
+# Limit: 20 results
+```
+
+### API Versioning Strategies
+
+**URL Versioning (Most Common):**
+```
+/api/v1/users
+/api/v2/users
+```
+
+**Header Versioning:**
+```
+GET /api/users
+Accept: application/vnd.myapi.v2+json
+```
+
+**Query Parameter:**
+```
+/api/users?version=2
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** URL versioning for simplicity and discoverability
+
+## GraphQL API Design
+
+### Schema Definition
+
+```graphql
+type User {
+  id: ID!
+  email: String!
+  name: String!
+  posts: [Post!]!
+  createdAt: DateTime!
+}
+
+type Post {
+  id: ID!
+  title: String!
+  content: String!
+  author: User!
+  published: Boolean!
+  createdAt: DateTime!
+}
+
+type Query {
+  user(id: ID!): User
+  users(limit: Int = 50, offset: Int = 0): [User!]!
+  post(id: ID!): Post
+  posts(authorId: ID, published: Boolean): [Post!]!
+}
+
+type Mutation {
+  createUser(input: CreateUserInput!): User!
+  updateUser(id: ID!, input: UpdateUserInput!): User!
+  deleteUser(id: ID!): Boolean!
+
+  createPost(input: CreatePostInput!): Post!
+  publishPost(id: ID!): Post!
+}
+
+input CreateUserInput {
+  email: String!
+  name: String!
+  password: String!
+}
+
+input UpdateUserInput {
+  email: String
+  name: String
+}
+```
+
+### Queries
+
+```graphql
+# Flexible data fetching - client specifies exactly what they need
+query {
+  user(id: "123") {
+    id
+    name
+    email
+    posts {
+      id
+      title
+      published
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+# With variables
+query GetUser($userId: ID!) {
+  user(id: $userId) {
+    id
+    name
+    posts(published: true) {
+      title
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Mutations
+
+```graphql
+mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
+  createUser(input: $input) {
+    id
+    email
+    name
+    createdAt
+  }
+}
+
+# Variables
+{
+  "input": {
+    "email": "user@example.com",
+    "name": "John Doe",
+    "password": "SecurePass123!"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Resolvers (NestJS Example)
+
+```typescript
+@Resolver(() => User)
+export class UserResolver {
+  constructor(
+    private userService: UserService,
+    private postService: PostService,
+  ) {}
+
+  @Query(() => User, { nullable: true })
+  async user(@Args('id') id: string) {
+    return this.userService.findById(id);
+  }
+
+  @Query(() => [User])
+  async users(
+    @Args('limit', { defaultValue: 50 }) limit: number,
+    @Args('offset', { defaultValue: 0 }) offset: number,
+  ) {
+    return this.userService.findAll({ limit, offset });
+  }
+
+  @Mutation(() => User)
+  async createUser(@Args('input') input: CreateUserInput) {
+    return this.userService.create(input);
+  }
+
+  // Field resolver - lazy load posts
+  @ResolveField(() => [Post])
+  async posts(@Parent() user: User) {
+    return this.postService.findByAuthorId(user.id);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### GraphQL Best Practices
+
+1. **Avoid N+1 Problem** - Use DataLoader
+```typescript
+import DataLoader from 'dataloader';
+
+const postLoader = new DataLoader(async (authorIds: string[]) => {
+  const posts = await db.posts.findAll({ where: { authorId: authorIds } });
+  return authorIds.map(id => posts.filter(p => p.authorId === id));
+});
+
+// In resolver
+@ResolveField(() => [Post])
+async posts(@Parent() user: User) {
+  return this.postLoader.load(user.id);
+}
+```
+
+2. **Pagination** - Relay-style cursor pagination
+3. **Error Handling** - Return errors in response
+4. **Depth Limiting** - Prevent deeply nested queries
+5. **Query Complexity Analysis** - Limit expensive queries
+
+## gRPC API Design
+
+### Protocol Buffers Schema
+
+```protobuf
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+package user;
+
+service UserService {
+  rpc GetUser (GetUserRequest) returns (User);
+  rpc ListUsers (ListUsersRequest) returns (ListUsersResponse);
+  rpc CreateUser (CreateUserRequest) returns (User);
+  rpc UpdateUser (UpdateUserRequest) returns (User);
+  rpc DeleteUser (DeleteUserRequest) returns (DeleteUserResponse);
+
+  // Streaming
+  rpc StreamUsers (StreamUsersRequest) returns (stream User);
+}
+
+message User {
+  string id = 1;
+  string email = 2;
+  string name = 3;
+  int64 created_at = 4;
+}
+
+message GetUserRequest {
+  string id = 1;
+}
+
+message ListUsersRequest {
+  int32 limit = 1;
+  int32 offset = 2;
+}
+
+message ListUsersResponse {
+  repeated User users = 1;
+  int32 total = 2;
+}
+
+message CreateUserRequest {
+  string email = 1;
+  string name = 2;
+  string password = 3;
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation (Node.js)
+
+```typescript
+import * as grpc from '@grpc/grpc-js';
+import * as protoLoader from '@grpc/proto-loader';
+
+const packageDefinition = protoLoader.loadSync('user.proto');
+const userProto = grpc.loadPackageDefinition(packageDefinition).user;
+
+// Server implementation
+const server = new grpc.Server();
+
+server.addService(userProto.UserService.service, {
+  async getUser(call, callback) {
+    const user = await userService.findById(call.request.id);
+    callback(null, user);
+  },
+
+  async createUser(call, callback) {
+    const user = await userService.create(call.request);
+    callback(null, user);
+  },
+
+  async streamUsers(call) {
+    const users = await userService.findAll();
+    for (const user of users) {
+      call.write(user);
+    }
+    call.end();
+  },
+});
+
+server.bindAsync(
+  '0.0.0.0:50051',
+  grpc.ServerCredentials.createInsecure(),
+  () => server.start()
+);
+```
+
