This skill details the architecture and implementation of a robust API Gateway, serving as the single entry point for multiple backend microservices. It centrally manages critical cross-cutting concerns, including path-based and header-based routing, JWT/OAuth2 authentication, rate limiting, load balancing, and circuit breaker protection. This pattern is essential for building resilient, scalable, and maintainable microservices architectures, significantly simplifying client integration and request management.

Automates OWASP Top 10 (2021) security assessments via the owasp-compliance-checker plugin, scanning codebases for vulnerabilities, reporting compliance gaps, and suggesting remediation advice for developers or auditors.

This guide details setting up robust CI/CD pipelines for applications utilizing Clay. It covers automated unit and integration testing for webhook handlers, validating data schema compliance, and ensuring the reliability of data enrichment processes within your build workflow. Ideal for teams deploying webhooks or complex data transformation logic.

This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to integrate external applications with the Clay platform using webhooks. Users learn to send raw data (such as company domains or lead information) via API calls in multiple popular languages (cURL, Python, Node.js). Clay automatically processes this data through configured enrichment columns and returns enriched, structured results. This is essential for building robust data pipelines and testing webhook setups.

This skill provides comprehensive strategies for managing API rate limits and webhooks within the Clay platform. It addresses webhook throttling, plan-level rate limits (hourly/per-second), and webhook submission exhaustion (50K limit). Use this when integrating with Clay to ensure reliable, optimized data throughput and handle 429 errors gracefully with backoff strategies.

This guide details security best practices for integrating with Clay. It covers securing API keys, validating webhook signatures, isolating provider credentials, and redacting sensitive PII data. Essential for maintaining compliance and data integrity in production environments.

This guide provides expert architectural patterns for implementing robust authentication using Clerk in Next.js 14/15 App Router. It covers essential setups like ClerkProvider, middleware route protection (including role/permission checks), and accessing user data in Server Components and Server Actions. Ideal for building secure, scalable, and enterprise-grade web applications.

This comprehensive guide details how to configure robust CI/CD pipelines for applications secured by Clerk authentication. It covers setting up GitHub Actions workflows, utilizing Playwright for end-to-end (E2E) testing, managing test user states, and scripting user seeding for reliable automated testing environments. Essential for developers integrating Clerk into their build and deployment process.

Learn how to implement robust authentication and authorization flows using Clerk in Next.js. This guide covers configuring `clerkMiddleware` for route protection, protecting API endpoints with permission checks, customizing session claims (JWT), and generating secure tokens for external services like Supabase. Essential for building secure, enterprise-grade SaaS applications.

This skill provides comprehensive methods for managing user data and ensuring compliance with global privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. It covers essential features such as data export, implementing the "right to be forgotten" (user deletion), managing user consent via metadata, and maintaining detailed audit logs. Use this for building robust, legally compliant user data management systems in modern web applications.

A comprehensive guide for migrating user authentication systems from major providers like Auth0, Firebase, Supabase, or NextAuth to Clerk. It covers essential steps including user data export, bulk import, updating database references, and replacing client and server-side authentication code for a smooth, phased transition.

A comprehensive checklist for ensuring an application integrated with Clerk is fully production-ready. It covers essential steps across environment configuration, security hardening (e.g., CORS, rate limiting), monitoring setup, graceful error handling, and performance optimization necessary before launching to a live audience.
