Production backend systems development. Stack: Node.js/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust | NestJS, FastAPI, Django, Express | PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis. Capabilities: REST/GraphQL/gRPC APIs, OAuth 2.1/JWT auth, OWASP security, microservices, caching, load balancing, Docker/K8s deployment. Actions: design, build, implement, secure, optimize, deploy, test APIs and services. Keywords: API design, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, authentication, OAuth, JWT, RBAC, database, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, caching, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, OWASP, security, performance, scalability, NestJS, FastAPI, Express, middleware, rate limiting. Use when: designing APIs, implementing auth/authz, optimizing queries, building microservices, securing endpoints, deploying containers, setting up CI/CD.
Why this skill is useful
Provides domain-specific knowledge on backend technologies, API design patterns, and security best practices that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires docker, kubernetes installed locally. About 2k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2025-12-09. 10 stars on the source repository.
