Common Patterns Quick Reference

Quick Start

bash

# Generate API routes from OpenAPI spec
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/

# Analyze database schema and generate migrations
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb --analyze

# Load test an API endpoint
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/users --concurrency 50 --duration 30

Tools Overview

1. API Scaffolder

Generates API route handlers, middleware, and OpenAPI specifications from schema definitions.

Input: OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON) or database schema Output: Route handlers, validation middleware, TypeScript types

Usage:

bash

# Generate Express routes from OpenAPI spec
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/

# Output:
# Generated 12 route handlers in src/routes/
# - GET /users (listUsers)
# - POST /users (createUser)
# - GET /users/{id} (getUser)
# - PUT /users/{id} (updateUser)
# - DELETE /users/{id} (deleteUser)
# ...
# Created validation middleware: src/middleware/validators.ts
# Created TypeScript types: src/types/api.ts

# Generate from database schema
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py --from-db postgres://localhost/mydb --output src/routes/

# Generate OpenAPI spec from existing routes
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py src/routes/ --generate-spec --output openapi.yaml

Supported Frameworks:

Express.js (--framework express)
Fastify (--framework fastify)
Koa (--framework koa)

2. Database Migration Tool

Analyzes database schemas, detects changes, and generates migration files with rollback support.

Input: Database connection string or schema files Output: Migration files, schema diff report, optimization suggestions

Usage:

bash

# Analyze current schema and suggest optimizations
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb --analyze

# Output:
# === Database Analysis Report ===
# Tables: 24
# Total rows: 1,247,832
#
# MISSING INDEXES (5 found):
#   orders.user_id - 847ms avg query time, ADD INDEX recommended
#   products.category_id - 234ms avg query time, ADD INDEX recommended
#
# N+1 QUERY RISKS (3 found):
#   users -> orders relationship (no eager loading)
#
# SUGGESTED MIGRATIONS:
#   1. Add index on orders(user_id)
#   2. Add index on products(category_id)
#   3. Add composite index on order_items(order_id, product_id)

# Generate migration from schema diff
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb \
  --compare schema/v2.sql --output migrations/

# Output:
# Generated migration: migrations/20240115_add_user_indexes.sql
# Generated rollback: migrations/20240115_add_user_indexes_rollback.sql

# Dry-run a migration
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection postgres://localhost/mydb \
  --migrate migrations/20240115_add_user_indexes.sql --dry-run

3. API Load Tester

Performs HTTP load testing with configurable concurrency, measuring latency percentiles and throughput.

Input: API endpoint URL and test configuration Output: Performance report with latency distribution, error rates, throughput metrics

Usage:

bash

# Basic load test
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/users --concurrency 50 --duration 30

# Output:
# === Load Test Results ===
# Target: https://api.example.com/users
# Duration: 30s | Concurrency: 50
#
# THROUGHPUT:
#   Total requests: 15,247
#   Requests/sec: 508.2
#   Successful: 15,102 (99.0%)
#   Failed: 145 (1.0%)
#
# LATENCY (ms):
#   Min: 12
#   Avg: 89
#   P50: 67
#   P95: 198
#   P99: 423
#   Max: 1,247
#
# ERRORS:
#   Connection timeout: 89
#   HTTP 503: 56
#
# RECOMMENDATION: P99 latency (423ms) exceeds 200ms target.
# Consider: connection pooling, query optimization, or horizontal scaling.

# Test with custom headers and body
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/orders \
  --method POST \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
  --body '{"product_id": 1, "quantity": 2}' \
  --concurrency 100 \
  --duration 60

# Compare two endpoints
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/v1/users https://api.example.com/v2/users \
  --compare --concurrency 50 --duration 30

Backend Development Workflows

API Design Workflow

Use when designing a new API or refactoring existing endpoints.

Step 1: Define resources and operations

yaml

# openapi.yaml
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: User Service API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /users:
    get:
      summary: List users
      parameters:
        - name: limit
          in: query
          schema:
            type: integer
            default: 20
    post:
      summary: Create user
      requestBody:
        required: true
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/CreateUser'

Step 2: Generate route scaffolding

bash

python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express --output src/routes/

Step 3: Implement business logic

typescript

// src/routes/users.ts (generated, then customized)
export const createUser = async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const { email, name } = req.body;

  // Add business logic
  const user = await userService.create({ email, name });

  res.status(201).json(user);
};

Step 4: Add validation middleware

bash

# Validation is auto-generated from OpenAPI schema
# src/middleware/validators.ts includes:
# - Request body validation
# - Query parameter validation
# - Path parameter validation

Step 5: Generate updated OpenAPI spec

bash

python scripts/api_scaffolder.py src/routes/ --generate-spec --output openapi.yaml

Database Optimization Workflow

Use when queries are slow or database performance needs improvement.

Step 1: Analyze current performance

bash

python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL --analyze

Step 2: Identify slow queries

sql

-- Check query execution plans
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE user_id = 123
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT 10;

-- Look for: Seq Scan (bad), Index Scan (good)

Step 3: Generate index migrations

bash

python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL \
  --suggest-indexes --output migrations/

Step 4: Test migration (dry-run)

bash

python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL \
  --migrate migrations/add_indexes.sql --dry-run

Step 5: Apply and verify

bash

# Apply migration
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL \
  --migrate migrations/add_indexes.sql

# Verify improvement
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL --analyze

Security Hardening Workflow

Use when preparing an API for production or after a security review.

Step 1: Review authentication setup

typescript

// Verify JWT configuration
const jwtConfig = {
  secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET,  // Must be from env, never hardcoded
  expiresIn: '1h',                 // Short-lived tokens
  algorithm: 'RS256'               // Prefer asymmetric
};

Step 2: Add rate limiting

typescript

import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';

const apiLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,  // 15 minutes
  max: 100,                   // 100 requests per window
  standardHeaders: true,
  legacyHeaders: false,
});

app.use('/api/', apiLimiter);

Step 3: Validate all inputs

typescript

import { z } from 'zod';

const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email().max(255),
  name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
  age: z.number().int().positive().optional()
});

// Use in route handler
const data = CreateUserSchema.parse(req.body);

Step 4: Load test with attack patterns

bash

# Test rate limiting
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/login \
  --concurrency 200 --duration 10 --expect-rate-limit

# Test input validation
python scripts/api_load_tester.py https://api.example.com/users \
  --method POST \
  --body '{"email": "not-an-email"}' \
  --expect-status 400

Step 5: Review security headers

typescript

import helmet from 'helmet';

app.use(helmet({
  contentSecurityPolicy: true,
  crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: true,
  crossOriginOpenerPolicy: true,
  crossOriginResourcePolicy: true,
  hsts: { maxAge: 31536000, includeSubDomains: true },
}));

Common Patterns Quick Reference

REST API Response Format

json

{
  "data": { "id": 1, "name": "John" },
  "meta": { "requestId": "abc-123" }
}

Error Response Format

json

{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Invalid email format",
    "details": [{ "field": "email", "message": "must be valid email" }]
  },
  "meta": { "requestId": "abc-123" }
}

HTTP Status Codes

Code	Use Case
200	Success (GET, PUT, PATCH)
201	Created (POST)
204	No Content (DELETE)
400	Validation error
401	Authentication required
403	Permission denied
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limit exceeded
500	Internal server error

Database Index Strategy

sql

-- Single column (equality lookups)
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);

-- Composite (multi-column queries)
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_status ON orders(user_id, status);

-- Partial (filtered queries)
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_active ON orders(created_at) WHERE status = 'active';

-- Covering (avoid table lookup)
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email_name ON users(email) INCLUDE (name);

Common Commands

bash

# API Development
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py openapi.yaml --framework express
python scripts/api_scaffolder.py src/routes/ --generate-spec

# Database Operations
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL --analyze
python scripts/database_migration_tool.py --connection $DATABASE_URL --migrate file.sql

# Performance Testing
