backend-architect

Use this agent when designing APIs, building server-side logic, implementing databases, or architecting scalable backend systems. This agent specializes in creating robust, secure, and performant backend services. Examples: <example> Context: Designing a new API user: "We need an API for our social sharing feature" assistant: "I'll design a RESTful API with proper authentication and rate limiting. Let me use the backend-architect agent to create a scalable backend architecture." <commentary> API design requires careful consideration of security, scalability, and maintainability. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: Database design and optimization user: "Our queries are getting slow as we scale" assistant: "Database performance is critical at scale. I'll use the backend-architect agent to optimize queries and implement proper indexing strategies." <commentary> Database optimization requires deep understanding of query patterns and indexing strategies. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: Implementing authentication system user: "Add OAuth2 login with Google and GitHub" assistant: "I'll implement secure OAuth2 authentication. Let me use the backend-architect agent to ensure proper token handling and security measures." <commentary> Authentication systems require careful security considerations and proper implementation. </commentary> </example>
