- # Backend API Architect — Node.js / TypeScript
12
-
13
- > An API is a contract with every developer who uses it. Breaking changes have cascading consequences.
14
- > Build for correctness first, then performance. Never guess at a data shape — read the schema.
15
-
16
- ---
17
-
18
- ## 1. Framework Selection Decision Tree
19
-
20
- ```
21
- Is this a Next.js project?
22
- → YES → Use Server Actions for mutations, Route Handlers for webhooks/OAuth
23
- → NO →
24
- Is edge runtime required? (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge)
25
- → YES → Hono (first-class edge support, tiny bundle)
26
- → NO →
27
- Is raw performance critical? (>10k req/s, binary protocols)
28
- → YES → Fastify (2x Express throughput, schema validation built-in)
29
- → NO → Express (largest ecosystem, most familiar, production-proven)
30
- ```
31
-
32
- ---
33
-
34
- ## 2. Input Validation — Always Zod, Always First
35
-
36
- Every route handler starts with schema validation. Never trust incoming data.
37
-
38
- ```typescript
39
- // APPROVED: Zod validates at the boundary before any business logic
40
- import { z } from 'zod';
41
-
42
- const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
43
- email: z.string().email(),
44
- name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
45
- role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']).default('user'),
46
- });
47
-
48
- // Hono route with validation
49
- app.post('/users', async (c) => {
50
- const raw = await c.req.json();
51
- const result = CreateUserSchema.safeParse(raw);
52
-
53
- if (!result.success) {
54
- return c.json({ error: result.error.flatten() }, 400);
55
- }
56
-
57
- const user = await createUser(result.data); // result.data is fully typed
58
- return c.json(user, 201);
59
- });
60
- ```
61
-
62
- ---
63
-
64
- ## 3. Authentication — Order of Operations
65
-
66
- Auth checks come FIRST. Business logic comes AFTER.
67
-
68
- ```typescript
69
- // CRITICAL SECURITY VIOLATION: Business logic before auth check
70
- async function updateProfile(req: Request) {
71
- const updates = await req.json(); // Business logic
72
- const profile = await db.updateUser(updates); // DB mutation
73
- const user = await getUser(req); // Auth check AFTER mutation too late!
74
- }
75
-
76
- // CORRECT: Auth → Permission → Validation → Business Logic
77
- async function updateProfile(req: Request) {
78
- // 1. Authentication — verify identity
79
- const session = await auth.verifySession(req);
80
- if (!session) return Response.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 });
81
-
82
- // 2. Authorization — verify permission
83
- if (session.userId !== req.params.id && session.role !== 'admin') {
84
- return Response.json({ error: 'Forbidden' }, { status: 403 });
85
- }
86
-
87
- // 3. Input validation
88
- const result = UpdateProfileSchema.safeParse(await req.json());
89
- if (!result.success) return Response.json({ error: result.error.flatten() }, { status: 400 });
90
-
91
- // 4. Business logic
92
- const updated = await db.users.update({ where: { id: req.params.id }, data: result.data });
93
- return Response.json(updated);
94
- }
95
- ```
96
-
97
- ---
98
-
99
- ## 4. Error Handling Typed Error Responses
100
-
101
- ```typescript
102
- // BAD: Leaks internal details, no type contract
103
- app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
104
- const user = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${req.params.id}`);
105
- res.json(user.rows[0]); // Could throw and send HTML error page with stack trace
106
- });
107
-
108

- ## 5. API Response Envelope Standard
133
-
134
- Consistent response envelopes make clients predictable and error handling automatic.
135
-
136
- ```typescript
137
- // Standard success envelope
138
- type ApiSuccess<T> = {
139
- data: T;
140
- meta?: { page: number; total: number; limit: number };
141
- };
142
-
143
- // Standard error envelope
144
- type ApiError = {
145
- error: string;
146
- code: string; // Machine-readable code for client switch statements
147
- details?: Record<string, string[]>; // Field-level validation errors from Zod
148
- };
149
-
150
- // Paginated list response
151
- return res.json({
152
- data: users,
153
- meta: { page: 1, total: 847, limit: 20 }

- ## 6. Security Requirements
160
-
161
- ### NEVER Generate These Patterns
162
-
163
- ```typescript
164
- // ❌ SQL Injection
165
- const user = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${email}'`);
166
-
167
- // ❌ Hardcoded secret
168
- const JWT_SECRET = 'mysecretkey123';
169
-
170
- // ❌ Algorithm bypass-risk
171
- jwt.verify(token, secret); // Missing: { algorithms: ['HS256'] }
172
-
173
- // ❌ Mass assignment vulnerability
174
- await db.users.update({ where: { id }, data: req.body }); // User could set role: 'admin'
175
- ```
176
-
177
- ```typescript
178
- // ✅ Parameterized query
179
- const user = await db.execute('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1', [email]);
180
-
181
- // ✅ Environment variable
182
- const JWT_SECRET = process.env.JWT_SECRET ?? (() => { throw new Error('JWT_SECRET not set'); })();
183
-
184
- // ✅ Algorithm enforced
185
- jwt.verify(token, secret, { algorithms: ['HS256'] });
186
-
187
- // ✅ Explicit field allowlist
188
- const { name, bio } = UpdateProfileSchema.parse(req.body); // Only allowed fields
189
- await db.users.update({ where: { id }, data: { name, bio } });
190
- ```
191

193
-
194
- ## 7. Rate Limiting Required on All Public Endpoints
195
-
196
- ```typescript
197
- import { Ratelimit } from '@upstash/ratelimit';
198
- import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';
199
-
200
- const ratelimit = new Ratelimit({
201
- redis: Redis.fromEnv(),
202
- limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(10, '10 s'), // 10 requests per 10 seconds
203
- });
204
-
205
- // Apply to every public auth endpoint at minimum
206
- app.post('/auth/login', async (c) => {
207
- const identifier = c.req.header('CF-Connecting-IP') ?? 'anonymous';
208
- const { success, remaining } = await ratelimit.limit(identifier);
209
-
210
- if (!success) {
211
- return c.json({ error: 'Too many requests' }, 429);
212
- }
213
-
214
- // ... rest of login logic
215
- });
216
- ```

- ## 🏛️ Tribunal Integration
221
-
222
- **Slash command: `/tribunal-backend`**
223
- **Active reviewers: `logic` · `security` · `dependency` · `type-safety` · `sql`**
224
-
225
- ### Pre-Delivery Checklist
226
-
227
- ```
228
- ✅ Auth check is FIRST — before any business logic or DB access
229
- ✅ All inputs validated with Zod before processing
230
- ✅ No string interpolation in SQL queries
231
- ✅ JWT verification includes { algorithms: ['HS256'] } option
232
- ✅ No secrets hardcoded — all from process.env with existence checks
233
- ✅ Error responses don't leak stack traces or internal paths
234
- ✅ Rate limiting applied to all auth and user-input endpoints
235
- ✅ Mass assignment prevented — explicit field allowlists only
236
- ✅ All async operations have try/catch
237
- ✅ TypeScript: no any without explanation comment
238
- ```

14
+
15
+ ## 1. Framework Selection Decision Tree
16
+
17
+ ```
18
+ Is this a Next.js project?
19
+ → YES → Use Server Actions for mutations, Route Handlers for webhooks/OAuth
20
+ → NO →
21
+ Is edge runtime required? (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge)
22
+ → YES → Hono (first-class edge support, tiny bundle)
23
+ → NO →
24
+ Is raw performance critical? (>10k req/s, binary protocols)
25
+ → YES → Fastify (2x Express throughput, schema validation built-in)
26
+ → NO → Express (largest ecosystem, most familiar, production-proven)
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ ---
30
+
31
+ ## 2. Input Validation — Always Zod, Always First
32
+
33
+ Every route handler starts with schema validation. Never trust incoming data.
34
+
35
+ ```typescript
36
+ // APPROVED: Zod validates at the boundary before any business logic
37
+ import { z } from 'zod';
38
+
39
+ const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
40
+ email: z.string().email(),
41
+ name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
42
+ role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']).default('user'),
43
+ });
44
+
45
+ // Hono route with validation
46
+ app.post('/users', async (c) => {
47
+ const raw = await c.req.json();
48
+ const result = CreateUserSchema.safeParse(raw);
49
+
50
+ if (!result.success) {
51
+ return c.json({ error: result.error.flatten() }, 400);
52
+ }
53
+
54
+ const user = await createUser(result.data); // result.data is fully typed
55
+ return c.json(user, 201);
56
+ });
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ ---
60
+
61
+ ## 3. Authentication — Order of Operations
62
+
63
+ Auth checks come FIRST. Business logic comes AFTER.
64
+
65
+ ```typescript
66
+ // CRITICAL SECURITY VIOLATION: Business logic before auth check
67
+ async function updateProfile(req: Request) {
68
+ const updates = await req.json(); // Business logic
69
+ const profile = await db.updateUser(updates); // DB mutation
70
+ const user = await getUser(req); // Auth check AFTER mutation — too late!
71
+ }
72
+
73
+ // CORRECT: Auth Permission Validation Business Logic
74
+ async function updateProfile(req: Request) {
75
+ // 1. Authentication — verify identity
76
+ const session = await auth.verifySession(req);
77
+ if (!session) return Response.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 });
78
+
79
+ // 2. Authorization verify permission
80
+ if (session.userId !== req.params.id && session.role !== 'admin') {
81
+ return Response.json({ error: 'Forbidden' }, { status: 403 });
82
+ }
83
+
84
+ // 3. Input validation
85
+ const result = UpdateProfileSchema.safeParse(await req.json());
86
+ if (!result.success) return Response.json({ error: result.error.flatten() }, { status: 400 });
87
+
88
+ // 4. Business logic
89
+ const updated = await db.users.update({ where: { id: req.params.id }, data: result.data });
90
+ return Response.json(updated);
91
+ }
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ ---
95
+
96
+ ## 4. Error Handling — Typed Error Responses
97
+
98
+ ```typescript
99
+ // BAD: Leaks internal details, no type contract
100
+ app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
101
+ const user = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${req.params.id}`);
102
+ res.json(user.rows[0]); // Could throw and send HTML error page with stack trace
103
+ });
104
+
105
+ // APPROVED: Typed error response, no information leak
106
+ app.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
107
+ try {
108
+ const id = IdSchema.parse(req.params.id);
109
+ const user = await db.users.findUnique({ where: { id } });
110
+
111
+ if (!user) {
112
+ return res.status(404).json({ error: 'User not found', code: 'NOT_FOUND' });
113
+ }
114
+
115
+ return res.json(user);
116
+ } catch (error) {
117
+ if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
118
+ return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid ID format', code: 'VALIDATION_ERROR' });
119
+ }
120
+ // Log internally, never expose internal details
121
+ logger.error({ error, userId: req.params.id }, 'Failed to fetch user');
122
+ return res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error', code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR' });
123
+ }
124
