Skill UI

An expert developer specializing in secure backend coding practices, vulnerability mitigation, and robust API design. Proficient in preventing common attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF. Covers comprehensive areas including input validation, authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, MFA), database security, and implementing necessary security headers (CSP, HSTS) for building secure-by-design applications. Ideal for implementing security fixes or building new, hardened backend services.

Automated assistant that walks through backend background worker setup, covering node.js, Python, Go, databases, caching, messaging, and microservices best practices.

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.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for deploying applications that interact with Clay—such as webhook receivers, enrichment processors, or CRM sync services—to major production infrastructure platforms (Vercel, Google Cloud Run, or Docker). It covers environment configuration, secret management, and setting up secure HTTPS endpoints for robust production deployment.

A comprehensive guide to building resilient and fault-tolerant data enrichment pipelines. Learn to implement critical patterns like credit budget circuit breakers, Dead Letter Queues (DLQs) for failed records, and health monitoring to ensure stability and cost control when integrating with external services like Clay.

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 guide provides comprehensive strategies to optimize costs associated with Clerk authentication services. It details understanding the MAU pricing model, implementing route-level authentication controls, utilizing caching techniques to reduce API calls, and scripting the cleanup of inactive users, helping maintain compliance and controlling expenditure.

A comprehensive guide detailing reference architecture patterns for implementing Clerk authentication in modern, enterprise-grade applications. Covers best practices for Next.js full-stack, microservices, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-platform mobile/web synchronization, ensuring secure and scalable authentication flows.
