Compare Express and Fastify on performance, ergonomics, plugin model, and TypeScript support to pick the right HTTP framework for your project.
Apply REST design best practices for resources, naming, status codes, pagination, and versioning to build clean, durable APIs.
Design clear, consistent error responses for REST APIs using HTTP status codes, problem details, and error envelopes that clients can actually handle.
How to design REST endpoints that accept many items at once: request shape, partial success, error reporting, idempotency, and limits that keep your API healthy under load.
A practical walkthrough of HTTP methods — semantics, safety, idempotency, body conventions, and the differences between POST, PUT, and PATCH. Plus OPTIONS and HEAD.
