Full-Stack Architecture Decision

Framework Selection

Question 1: What's the primary content type?
├── Static/Content-heavy → Astro (or Next.js with SSG)
├── Interactive SPA → Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix
├── Real-time/Collaborative → Next.js + WebSocket/SSE
└── Mobile + Web → React Native + shared packages

Question 2: What's the team's primary language?
├── TypeScript → Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix
├── Python → FastAPI + React/Vue frontend
├── Go → Go backend + React/Vue frontend
└── Rust → Axum/Actix + any frontend

Question 3: How important is SEO?
├── Critical → SSR/SSG framework (Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit)
├── Important → Hybrid (SSR for public, SPA for app)
└── Not important → SPA (Vite + React/Vue)

Key Patterns

Server Actions (Next.js)

// features/users/actions/create-user.ts
'use server';

import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { db } from '@/db';
import { users } from '@/db/schema';

const createUserSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
  email: z.string().email(),
  role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']).default('user'),
});

export async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  const raw = Object.fromEntries(formData);
  const parsed = createUserSchema.safeParse(raw);

  if (!parsed.success) {
    return { error: parsed.error.flatten().fieldErrors };
  }

  try {
    const [user] = await db.insert(users).values(parsed.data).returning();
    revalidatePath('/dashboard/users');
    return { data: user };
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === '23505') { // PostgreSQL unique constraint violation
      return { error: { email: ['Email already exists'] } };
    }
    return { error: { _form: ['Failed to create user'] } };
  }
}

Type-Safe API Layer with TanStack Query

// features/users/queries/use-users.ts
import { useQuery, useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import type { User, CreateUserInput } from '../types';

export function useUsers(page = 1) {
  return useQuery({
    queryKey: ['users', page],
    queryFn: () => fetch(`/api/users?page=${page}`).then(r => r.json()),
  });
}

export function useCreateUser() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: (data: CreateUserInput) =>
      fetch('/api/users', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        body: JSON.stringify(data),
      }).then(r => r.json()),
    onSuccess: () => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['users'] });
    },
  });
}

Database Schema with Drizzle

// db/schema.ts
import { pgTable, serial, varchar, timestamp, text, boolean, integer } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';
import { relations } from 'drizzle-orm';

export const users = pgTable('users', {
  id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
  name: varchar('name', { length: 255 }).notNull(),
  email: varchar('email', { length: 255 }).unique().notNull(),
  passwordHash: text('password_hash').notNull(),
  role: varchar('role', { length: 20 }).default('user').notNull(),
  emailVerified: boolean('email_verified').default(false),
  createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
  updatedAt: timestamp('updated_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
});

export const posts = pgTable('posts', {
  id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
  title: varchar('title', { length: 255 }).notNull(),
  content: text('content'),
  authorId: integer('author_id').references(() => users.id).notNull(),
  published: boolean('published').default(false),
  createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
});

export const usersRelations = relations(users, ({ many }) => ({
  posts: many(posts),
}));

export const postsRelations = relations(posts, ({ one }) => ({
  author: one(users, { fields: [posts.authorId], references: [users.id] }),
}));

Shared Validation with Zod

// features/users/schema.ts
import { z } from 'zod';

// Shared between client and server
export const createUserSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(2, 'Name must be at least 2 characters').max(100),
  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
  password: z.string().min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters')
    .regex(/[A-Z]/, 'Must contain uppercase')
    .regex(/[0-9]/, 'Must contain number'),
});

export const updateUserSchema = createUserSchema.partial().omit({ password: true });

export type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof createUserSchema>;
export type UpdateUserInput = z.infer<typeof updateUserSchema>;

Error Handling Pattern

// lib/errors.ts
export class AppError extends Error {
  constructor(
    message: string,
    public statusCode: number = 500,
    public code: string = 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
  ) {
    super(message);
    this.name = 'AppError';
  }
}

export class NotFoundError extends AppError {
  constructor(resource: string) {
    super(`${resource} not found`, 404, 'NOT_FOUND');
  }
}

export class ValidationError extends AppError {
  constructor(public errors: Record<string, string[]>) {
    super('Validation failed', 422, 'VALIDATION_ERROR');
  }
}

// API route handler wrapper
export function withErrorHandler(handler: Function) {
  return async (req: Request) => {
    try {
      return await handler(req);
    } catch (error) {
      if (error instanceof AppError) {
        return Response.json(
          { error: { code: error.code, message: error.message } },
          { status: error.statusCode }
        );
      }
      console.error('Unhandled error:', error);
      return Response.json(
        { error: { code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR', message: 'Something went wrong' } },
        { status: 500 }
      );
    }
  };
}

End-to-End Type Safety with tRPC

For maximum type safety without API definitions:

// server/trpc.ts
import { initTRPC, TRPCError } from '@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'zod';

const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create();

export const router = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;
export const protectedProcedure = t.procedure.use(authMiddleware);

// server/routers/users.ts
export const usersRouter = router({
  list: publicProcedure
    .input(z.object({ page: z.number().default(1) }))
    .query(async ({ input }) => {
      return db.select().from(users).limit(20).offset((input.page - 1) * 20);
    }),

  create: protectedProcedure
    .input(createUserSchema)
    .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
      return db.insert(users).values(input).returning();
    }),
});

// Client — full type safety, no code generation
const { data } = trpc.users.list.useQuery({ page: 1 });
//                                          ^ TypeScript knows the shape

WebSocket & Real-Time Patterns

Server-Sent Events (Simple Real-Time)

// Server — SSE endpoint (lightweight alternative to WebSocket)
app.get('/api/events', (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {
    'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
  });

  const sendEvent = (event: string, data: unknown) => {
    res.write(`event: ${event}\ndata: ${JSON.stringify(data)}\n\n`);
  };

  // Subscribe to updates
  const unsubscribe = eventBus.subscribe('task:updated', (task) => {
    sendEvent('task-update', task);
  });

  req.on('close', () => {
    unsubscribe();
    res.end();
  });
});

// Client — EventSource API
const events = new EventSource('/api/events');
events.addEventListener('task-update', (e) => {
  const task = JSON.parse(e.data);
  updateTaskInUI(task);
});

WebSocket with Socket.io

// Server
import { Server } from 'socket.io';

const io = new Server(server, {
  cors: { origin: process.env.CLIENT_URL },
  connectionStateRecovery: {
    maxDisconnectionDuration: 2 * 60 * 1000, // 2 minutes
  },
});

// Authentication middleware
io.use(async (socket, next) => {
  const token = socket.handshake.auth.token;
  try {
    const user = await verifyToken(token);
    socket.data.user = user;
    next();
  } catch (err) {
    next(new Error('Authentication failed'));
  }
});

io.on('connection', (socket) => {
  // Join user-specific room
  socket.join(`user:${socket.data.user.id}`);
  
  // Join project rooms
  socket.on('join:project', async (projectId) => {
    const hasAccess = await checkProjectAccess(socket.data.user.id, projectId);
    if (hasAccess) socket.join(`project:${projectId}`);
  });
  
  // Broadcast updates to project members
  socket.on('task:update', async (data) => {
    const task = await updateTask(data);
    io.to(`project:${task.projectId}`).emit('task:updated', task);
  });
});

// Client (React hook)
function useSocket(projectId: string) {
  const [socket, setSocket] = useState<Socket | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    const s = io(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL!, {
      auth: { token: getAuthToken() },
    });
    s.emit('join:project', projectId);
    setSocket(s);
    return () => { s.disconnect(); };
  }, [projectId]);

  return socket;
}

Background Jobs & Task Queues

BullMQ (Node.js)

import { Queue, Worker } from 'bullmq';

// Producer — Add jobs to queue
const emailQueue = new Queue('emails', {
  connection: { host: 'redis', port: 6379 },
  defaultJobOptions: {
    attempts: 3,
    backoff: { type: 'exponential', delay: 2000 },
    removeOnComplete: { count: 1000 },
    removeOnFail: { count: 5000 },
  },
});

await emailQueue.add('welcome-email', {
  to: user.email,
  template: 'welcome',
  data: { name: user.name },
});

// Scheduled/recurring jobs
await emailQueue.add('daily-digest', { type: 'digest' }, {
  repeat: { pattern: '0 9 * * *' }, // Every day at 9 AM
});

// Consumer — Process jobs
const worker = new Worker('emails', async (job) => {
  switch (job.name) {
    case 'welcome-email':
      await sendEmail(job.data);
      break;
    case 'daily-digest':
      await generateAndSendDigest();
      break;
  }
}, {
  connection: { host: 'redis', port: 6379 },
  concurrency: 5,
  limiter: { max: 10, duration: 1000 }, // 10 jobs/second
});

worker.on('failed', (job, error) => {
  logger.error(`Job ${job?.id} failed:`, error);
});

Remember

✦ TYPE SAFETY END-TO-END: Catch errors at compile time — tRPC, Zod, Prisma
✦ REAL-TIME: SSE for simple updates, WebSocket for bidirectional communication
✦ BACKGROUND JOBS: Never process long tasks in request handlers — use queues
✦ CONVENTION OVER CONFIG: Use framework defaults — Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit
✦ SHARED VALIDATION: Same Zod schemas on client and server — single source of truth
✦ PROGRESSIVE ENHANCEMENT: Works without JS, better with it
✦ SHIP FAST: Get feedback early — iterate based on real usage
✦ PRODUCTION READY: Health checks, monitoring, graceful shutdown, auto-scaling
