# Backend Development Patterns Backend architecture patterns and best practices for scalable server-side applications. ## When to Activate - Designing REST or GraphQL API endpoints - Implementing repository, service, or controller layers - Optimizing database queries (N+1, indexing, connection pooling) - Adding caching (Redis, in-memory, HTTP cache headers) - Setting up background jobs or async processing - Structuring error handling and validation for APIs - Building middleware (auth, logging, rate limiting) ## API Design Patterns ### RESTful API Structure ```typescript // PASS: Resource-based URLs GET /api/markets # List resources GET /api/markets/:id # Get single resource POST /api/markets # Create resource PUT /api/markets/:id # Replace resource PATCH /api/markets/:id # Update resource DELETE /api/markets/:id # Delete resource // PASS: Query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination GET /api/markets?status=active&sort=volume&limit=20&offset=0 ``` ### Repository Pattern ```typescript // Abstract data access logic interface MarketRepository { findAll(filters?: MarketFilters): Promise<Market[]> findById(id: string): Promise<Market | null> create(data: CreateMarketDto): Promise<Market> update(id: string, data: UpdateMarketDto): Promise<Market> delete(id: string): Promise<void> } class SupabaseMarketRepository implements MarketRepository { async findAll(filters...
