Overview
SpecWise AI Code is an educational platform teaching developers four systematic principles for AI-assisted development:
Architecture-First: Plan before code
Type-Driven Development: Types as AI guardrails
Test-Driven AI: Tests validate AI output
Production Ready: Safe deployment from start
Core Insight: The platform addresses context loss in AI developmentβwhen AI generates code without full context, quality degrades. The solution: capture requirements in types and tests while context is fresh.
Target: Mid-level developers (2-5 years) transitioning to AI-assisted workflows.
Quality Assessment
Strengths
1. Clear Problem Definition The "context loss problem" is precisely articulatedβthis is the real constraint in AI development. The solution directly addresses it.
2. Systematic Framework The four principles form a coherent system where each reinforces the others:
Architecture preserves intent
Types constrain AI output space
Tests validate correctness
Production practices prevent technical debt
3. Practical Examples Code samples demonstrate actual implementation, not abstract concepts.
Critical Weaknesses
1. Technology Prescription Without Context
The documents specify React, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwindβbut the disclaimer says "always ask about frameworks." This creates confusion.
Issue: An educational platform teaching principles shouldn't be tightly coupled to specific tools. The principles apply to any stack.
Impact: Reduces adoption and suggests the team doesn't understand their own abstraction layer.
2. Gamification Without Justification
Mentions badges/achievements but provides no evidence this improves learning outcomes. Gamification often:
Distracts from intrinsic motivation
Adds complexity without corresponding value
Appeals to junior developers but alienates the target audience (mid-level)
Question: What problem does gamification solve?
3. Missing Constraint Analysis
No discussion of:
Why these four principles vs. three or five?
What trade-offs exist between them?
When not to apply them?
Example: Test-first development has costsβwhen is skipping tests the right choice? The framework provides no guidance.
4. Monitoring Overhead
The monitoring section is extensive but doesn't justify the complexity. For an educational platform:
Do you need database health checks?
Why log every user interaction?
What's the actual failure mode you're preventing?
This suggests cargo-culting "production practices" without understanding why they exist.
5. Architectural Inconsistency
Claims "monolithic SPA" is chosen
Also mentions: Cloudflare Workers, Hono, Svelte, Docusaurus, Convex, Turso, bknd.io
These are contradictoryβa monolithic SPA doesn't use Workers, Hono, or multiple frontend frameworks
Issue: Either the architecture is undefined, or the documentation is outdated.
Improvement Recommendations
1. Separate Principles from Implementation
Current: "Use React with TypeScript"
Better: "Use strongly-typed component framework"
Then provide React, Vue, Svelte examples. The principles are tool-agnostic.
2. Remove Unvalidated Features
Gamification: Cut unless you have data showing it improves completion rates. Simplicity > features.
Extensive Monitoring: For an educational platform, basic error tracking suffices. You're teaching concepts, not running a bank.
3. Add Constraint Documentation
For each principle, document:
When to apply: Context where it's valuable
When to skip: Situations where the overhead exceeds benefit
Trade-offs: What you sacrifice by using it
Example:
Test-first is valuable for complex logic
Skip for UI layout that's visually verified
Trade-off: Upfront time for long-term confidence
4. Clarify Architecture
Either:
Commit to monolithic SPA (simpler, better for education)
Document why you need Workers, Hono, multiple frameworks
The list of technologies suggests "we might use these" rather than "we chose these for reason X."
5. Measure What Matters
Current metrics:
80% completion rate
4.5+ satisfaction score
Better metrics:
Can users apply principles to their own projects?
Does code quality improve in subsequent work?
Do they avoid the context loss problem?
Success isn't completing your courseβit's applying the knowledge.
6. Kill Redundant Documentation
Multiple sections repeat the same concept:
Context loss is explained 3+ times
RLS policies shown twice
Test-first benefits listed in multiple places
Fix: Each concept appears once, in its logical place. Link when referencing.
Core Issue
The documentation conflates teaching a framework with teaching principles.
A framework is tool-specific: "Use React hooks for state."
A principle is universal: "Preserve context through explicit contracts."
Decision Required: Is SpecWise a React tutorial or a methodology? The current docs try to be both and succeed at neither.
Recommendation: Make it a methodology with tool-agnostic examples. Then provide implementation guides for popular stacks. This preserves educational value while reducing coupling.
Bottom Line: The core insight (context preservation via types and tests) is sound. The execution adds complexity that obscures rather than clarifies. Strip to essentials: the four principles, why they work, and how to apply themβregardless of stack.

Please Re-Write the Spec-Wise Documentation. Write the documentation specifically for Professional Software Development Standards * Not as an education platform # Comments on your Recommendations to take into account before re-write for enterprise business use case: 1. Agreed. Implement 2. Gamification: There is significant evidence to support it can help with memorization and linking concepts. Rather than promoting it as a feature mention it as an optional strategy for building team dynamics and understanding abstract concepts. 3. Agreed - Constraint Documentation and numerous examples of how to apply are the key factor missing from this documentation. Add Constraint Analysis and Application to each principle as a fundamental necessity. 4. Clarify Architecture as a concept. 1. The goal of this documentation is to provide parameters, values, and rules as a roadmap. 2. Explain optimal use cases for SPA vs Workers with Hono and etc.. **Consult Cloudflare Documentation if you need further clarification on frameworks. 3. There is a massive variance in how specific frameworks perform on certain platforms -- Hono is built for Cloudflare Workers and is ideal for API calls and worker driven applications being served on the edge. # SPA's are great for visually engaging frontends for applications not requiring significant backend logic.. expand on these principles and provide architectural reasoning guidance based on the scope and parameters of the project. 5. Better Metrics: Agreed -- Define, Articulate, Implement what you think is optimal. 6. Redundant Documentation: We can't -- Repetition = Remembering. Repetition is the Mother of Mastery. Important Principles bear repeating. There is an argument to be made that if you aren't getting at least slightly annoyed by the repetitiveness of key principles they aren't being drilled into hard enough. # The Claude Code SDK is a great example of this -- the amount of times key things like "Take out your notepad and track progress after every task" is what stops hallucinations from being as bad. ES Linting procedures are mentioned one or twice and Claude Code often forgets and screws it up.
## Rewrite for a Professional Audience. Teach Principles. Give Frameworks for examples. Apply Constraint driven values and use frameworks to assist in teaching the Principles of Constraints, Architecture, Specs, Types, Tests, and Production Best Practices.
Strategized comprehensive documentation overhaul for professional software development.
The user wants a complete rewrite of the SpecWise documentation for professional software development standards, not as an educational platform. Key changes:
Separate principles from implementation - Teach principles, use frameworks as examples
Keep gamification - But frame as optional team-building tool, not core feature
Add constraint documentation - This is critical. Each principle needs constraint analysis and application examples
Clarify architecture - Not just "what we chose" but "when to use what". Explain SPA vs Workers vs different patterns based on constraints
Better metrics - Focus on actual business value
Keep repetition - User makes excellent point about repetition being deliberate pedagogical tool
Structure should be:
Each principle explained clearly
Constraint analysis for each
Multiple application examples
When to apply vs when not to apply
Trade-offs explicit
Let me consult Cloudflare docs to understand their architecture patterns better, then write comprehensive professional documentation.
The documentation should be:
Professional tone
Constraint-driven thinking
Practical application focus
Framework-agnostic principles with specific examples
Repetition of core concepts is intentional
No fluff, direct and useful
SpecWise: Professional Software Development Standards
Version: 2.0
Audience: Professional Development Teams
Purpose: Systematic approach to constraint-driven software architecture and AI-assisted development
Executive Summary
Modern software development faces a fundamental challenge: context loss leads to system degradation. As systems grow, teams lose sight of original constraints, architectural decisions drift from intent, and technical debt compounds.
SpecWise provides a constraint-driven framework that preserves context through four interconnected disciplines:
Constraint Analysis & Architecture - Identify true leverage points before design
Type-Driven Development - Encode constraints in the type system
Test-Driven Validation - Verify behavior against specifications
Production-Ready Practices - Deploy safely from day one
Core Principle: Constraints shape all other decisions. Identify them first, then optimize within their bounds.
Part 1: Constraint Analysis & Architecture
The Fundamental Problem
Most development starts with solutions: "We'll use React and PostgreSQL." This inverts the decision hierarchy.
Correct Sequence:
Identify constraints (business, technical, organizational)
Determine architecture that optimizes within constraints
Select tools that fit the architecture
Why This Matters: Tool selection before constraint analysis leads to force-fitting solutions. You optimize for the tool, not the problem.
Constraint Identification Framework
Business Constraints
Definition: Non-negotiable requirements from business operations.
Examples:
Time-to-market: Feature must launch in 6 weeks
Budget: $50k development budget
Compliance: HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR requirements
Scale: Must handle 100k concurrent users
Availability: 99.9% uptime SLA
Impact: These constraints eliminate entire architectural patterns.
Example Analysis:
Constraint: HIPAA compliance required
Eliminates: Client-side data storage, public CDNs for PHI
Requires: Encrypted transport, audit logging, access controls
Shapes: Database choice, hosting environment, auth strategy
Technical Constraints
Definition: Limitations imposed by existing systems or technology.
Examples:
Legacy Integration: Must work with SOAP API from 2008
Team Expertise: Team knows Python, unfamiliar with Go
Infrastructure: Deployed on AWS, migration infeasible
Data Volume: 10TB database, sub-second query requirements
Latency: <100ms response time globally
Example Analysis:
Constraint: <100ms global response time
Eliminates: Centralized database, synchronous processing
Requires: Edge computing, aggressive caching, CDN
Suggests: Cloudflare Workers, regional databases, eventual consistency
Organizational Constraints
Definition: Human and process limitations that affect delivery.
Examples:
Team Size: 2 engineers, 1 designer
Maintenance: No DevOps team, developers deploy
Turnover: High churn, simple systems required
Release Cadence: Weekly deployments
Support: 24/7 coverage impossible
Example Analysis:
Constraint: 2 engineers, high turnover expected
Eliminates: Microservices, complex orchestration, custom infra
Requires: Managed services, simple deployment, minimal ops
Suggests: Monolithic SPA, serverless functions, platform-as-service
Constraint-Driven Architecture Selection
Critical Rule: Architecture flows from constraints, not preferences.
Decision Tree: SPA vs Edge Workers vs Hybrid
When to Choose SPA (Single-Page Application)
Optimal Constraints:
Visual interactivity is primary value
Limited backend logic
Users tolerate 200-500ms initial load
Team has frontend expertise
Simple deployment requirements
Example Use Case: Dashboard application
Constraints:
- Complex data visualization
- Real-time chart updates
- 500 active users maximum
- Team: 2 React developers
- Backend: Simple REST API
Decision: React SPA + API
Rationale: Frontend complexity dominates, scale manageable,
team expertise aligned
Architecture:
[CDN] -> [React SPA Bundle]
β-> [API Gateway] -> [Database]
Trade-offs:
β Rich interactivity, smooth UX
β Fast development with component libraries
β Slower initial load
β SEO challenges
β Client-side state management complexity
When to Choose Edge Workers (Cloudflare/Hono)
Optimal Constraints:
Global audience, latency-sensitive
API-heavy workload
Minimal frontend complexity
Scale unpredictable (could spike 100x)
Small team, minimal ops capacity
Example Use Case: API service for mobile apps
Constraints:
- Global users (5 continents)
- <100ms API response required
- 1000 req/sec baseline, 50k req/sec spikes
- Team: 1 backend developer
- Budget: Minimal infrastructure costs
Decision: Cloudflare Workers + Hono + D1
Rationale: Edge deployment solves latency, auto-scales to zero,
no infrastructure management
Architecture:
[Global Edge Network]
β-> [Hono Workers] -> [D1 (SQLite at edge)]
-> [R2 (Object Storage)]
-> [KV (Key-Value Cache)]
Trade-offs:
β Global <50ms latency
β Automatic scaling, no ops
β Cost-effective at scale
β Cold start latency (first request)
β Limited execution time (30s max)
β Stateless only
When to Choose Hybrid Architecture
Optimal Constraints:
Complex frontend AND backend logic
Different scaling needs per component
Global audience with regional data
Team has full-stack capability
Example Use Case: SaaS application with analytics
Constraints:
- Rich dashboard UI (complex visualizations)
- Real-time analytics processing
- User data must stay in-region (GDPR)
- 10k users, growing 50% monthly
- Team: 2 full-stack developers
Decision: SPA + Edge Workers + Regional DB
Rationale: Frontend complexity needs SPA, API latency needs
edge, data residency needs regional storage
Architecture:
[CDN] -> [React SPA]
β-> [Edge Workers (Hono)]
β-> [EU Database] (European users)
β-> [US Database] (American users)
β-> [KV Cache] (session data)
Trade-offs:
β Optimal performance for each component
β Scales independently
β Compliance-friendly
β Increased architectural complexity
β More deployment coordination
β Higher cognitive load
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
Purpose: Preserve constraint reasoning for future teams.
Critical: ADRs capture why decisions were made under specific constraints. Without this, teams optimize for the wrong things.
ADR Template
markdown

Example ADR: API Architecture Selection
markdown
# ADR-001: API Architecture - Edge Workers vs Traditional Backend
## Status
Accepted
## Constraints
**Business**:
- Launch in 8 weeks
- <$500/month infrastructure budget
- 99.5% uptime SLA
**Technical**:
- Global user base (NA, EU, APAC)
- <100ms API response time required
- Unpredictable traffic (10x spikes possible)
- RESTful API, no complex transactions
**Organizational**:
- Team: 1 backend developer
- No DevOps team
- Developer on-call 24/7 infeasible
## Decision
Use Cloudflare Workers with Hono framework for API layer
## Rationale
**Constraint: <100ms global latency**
- Traditional backend (US-only): 200ms from Asia
- Edge workers: <50ms globally
- β
Satisfies latency constraint
**Constraint: <$500/month budget**
- AWS EC2: $200/month + $100 load balancer + $50 monitoring = $350/month baseline
- Cloudflare Workers: $5/month + $0.50 per million requests = $50/month at 10M requests
- β
Significant cost savings
**Constraint: No DevOps team**
- Traditional: Requires server management, scaling, monitoring setup
- Workers: Fully managed, auto-scaling, built-in monitoring
- β
Eliminates operations burden
**Constraint: 10x traffic spikes**
- Traditional: Must overprovision or risk outages
- Workers: Automatic scaling, no configuration
- β
Handles spikes without intervention
## Alternatives Considered
| Alternative | Why Rejected |
|------------|--------------|
| AWS Lambda + API Gateway | Complex setup, cold starts worse than Workers, higher cost |
| Traditional EC2 + ALB | Requires DevOps expertise, doesn't meet latency constraint |
| Managed backend (Heroku) | Expensive at scale, doesn't solve latency, still requires ops |
| Vercel Functions | Good option, but more expensive than Workers, less global presence |
## Consequences
**Positive**:
- Global <50ms latency achieved
- No infrastructure management
- Auto-scales to zero (cost-efficient)
- Built-in DDoS protection
- Simple deployment pipeline
**Negative**:
- 30-second execution time limit (non-issue for API use case)
- Cold start latency on first request after idle (~50ms)
- Limited to JavaScript/TypeScript (acceptable given Hono)
- Stateless architecture required (appropriate for REST API)
## Implementation Notes
**Framework**: Hono
- Chosen for: Express-like API, optimized for Workers
- Performance: Minimal overhead, routing on edge
**Database**: Cloudflare D1 (SQLite)
- Rationale: Simple data model, low latency, global replication
- Limitation: Single-writer (acceptable for current scale)
**Caching**: Cloudflare KV
- Use for: Session data, rate limiting, read-heavy data
- TTL: Configure per use case
**Monitoring**: Built-in Workers Analytics
- Tracks: Invocations, errors, latency, CPU time
- Alerts: Set up for >5% error rate, >200ms p95 latency
## Review Triggers
Revisit this decision if:
- API requires >30s execution time (long-running jobs)
- Complex transactions needed (multi-step database operations)
- Team grows to include dedicated DevOps
- Traffic exceeds 100M requests/month (cost may favor dedicated infrastructure)
Constraint Analysis: Practical Application
Exercise: Analyze real constraints before design.
Example: Building an Internal Tool
Given Scenario: "Build a tool for customer support to search past tickets and respond."
Constraint Discovery Questions:
Users: How many? (5 agents vs 500 changes everything)
Data: How much? (10k tickets vs 10M tickets)
Search: How fast must it be? (<1s vs <100ms)
Integration: Existing systems? (Must use Salesforce API)
Deployment: Where? (Company VPN vs public internet)
Team: Who builds it? (1 dev, 3 months vs dedicated team)
Lifespan: How long? (3-month project vs multi-year product)
Answered Constraints:
Users: 12 support agents
Data: 50k tickets, growing 500/month
Search: <2s acceptable
Integration: Zendesk API (REST)
Deployment: Internal VPN only
Team: 1 developer, 4 weeks
Lifespan: 6 months, then reevaluate
Architecture Decision:
Choice: Simple SPA + Serverless Functions + Managed Search
Rationale:
- 12 users β No scale concerns, simplicity paramount
- 50k tickets β Manageable with Algolia/Meilisearch
- <2s search β Managed search service sufficient
- Zendesk API β Serverless function for API calls
- VPN only β No auth complexity, simpler security
- 1 dev, 4 weeks β Minimize custom code, use platforms
- 6 month lifespan β Optimize for speed, not perfection
Eliminated:
- Custom search indexing (overkill for 50k records)
- Microservices (team of 1, absurd)
- Custom auth (VPN handles it)
Implementation:
[React SPA]
β-> [Vercel Functions]
β-> [Zendesk API] (fetch tickets)
β-> [Algolia] (search index)
Timeline: 3 weeks, 1 week buffer.
Key Principle: Constraints Define Optimal Architecture
Repeat: Do not choose technology before analyzing constraints.
Common Mistake:
β "Let's build this in React with a Node.js backend"
(Before understanding: scale, team, timeline, budget)
Correct Approach:
β
1. Identify all constraints
2. Determine architecture that satisfies constraints
3. Select tools that fit architecture
Why This Matters:
Technology choice without constraint analysis = random optimization
You'll build the wrong thing efficiently
Technical debt compounds when architecture doesn't fit constraints
Repeat for Emphasis: Constraints shape everything. Identify them first.
Part 2: Type-Driven Development
The Core Problem: Ambiguity
Code fails when intent is ambiguous. Types eliminate ambiguity by encoding constraints directly in the system.
Without Types:
javascript
// What can userId be? String? Number? Null? Undefined?
function getUser(userId) {
return database.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`);
}
With Types:
typescript
type UserId = string & { readonly brand: unique symbol };
type User = {
id: UserId;
email: string;
role: 'admin' | 'user' | 'guest';
};
function getUser(userId: UserId): Promise<User | null> {
return database.query<User>('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
}
What Types Provide:
Compiler verification - Catches errors before runtime
Documentation - Types document expected behavior
Refactoring safety - Changes propagate through codebase
AI guardrails - Constrains AI-generated code to valid operations
Constraint Analysis: When Types Matter Most
High-Value Type Scenarios
1. Complex Domain Logic
typescript
// Financial calculations must be precise
type Currency = 'USD' | 'EUR' | 'GBP';
type Money = {
amount: number; // Always in smallest unit (cents)
currency: Currency;
};
type ExchangeRate = {
from: Currency;
to: Currency;
rate: number;
validUntil: Date;
};
function convertMoney(
money: Money,
rate: ExchangeRate
): Money | Error {
// Type system ensures currency matching
if (money.currency !== rate.from) {
return new Error('Currency mismatch');
}
return {
amount: Math.round(money.amount * rate.rate),
currency: rate.to
};
}
Why Types Help: Financial logic has zero error tolerance. Types prevent invalid states.
2. API Contracts
typescript
// Request/Response types ensure contract compliance
interface CreateUserRequest {
email: string;
password: string; // Min 8 chars, validated elsewhere
role: 'user' | 'admin';
}
interface CreateUserResponse {
success: true;
data: {
userId: string;
email: string;
};
} | {
success: false;
error: {
code: 'INVALID_EMAIL' | 'WEAK_PASSWORD' | 'DUPLICATE_USER';
message: string;
};
}
Why Types Help: API consumers know exactly what to send/expect. Breaking changes caught at compile time.
3. State Machines
typescript
// Explicit state transitions prevent invalid states
type OrderState =
| { status: 'pending'; paymentMethod: null }
| { status: 'paid'; paymentMethod: string; transactionId: string }
| { status: 'shipped'; trackingNumber: string }
| { status: 'delivered'; deliveredAt: Date }
| { status: 'cancelled'; reason: string };
function transitionOrder(
order: OrderState,
event: OrderEvent
): OrderState | Error {
// Type system enforces valid transitions
switch (order.status) {
case 'pending':
if (event.type === 'PAYMENT_RECEIVED') {
return {
status: 'paid',
paymentMethod: event.method,
transactionId: event.transactionId
};
}
break;
case 'paid':
if (event.type === 'ORDER_SHIPPED') {
return {
status: 'shipped',
trackingNumber: event.trackingNumber
};
}
break;
// ... other transitions
}
return new Error('Invalid state transition');
}
Why Types Help: Impossible to create invalid state combinations. Compiler ensures all transitions handled.
Low-Value Type Scenarios
When to Skip Heavy Typing:
1. Prototypes and Spikes
typescript
// Rapid exploration, type later
function exploreAPI(endpoint: string) {
return fetch(endpoint).then(r => r.json());
}
Rationale: Discovering requirements, type system would slow exploration.
2. One-Time Scripts
bash
# Quick data migration, not production code
node migrate.js --from users_old --to users_new
Rationale: Short lifespan, no maintenance burden.
3. Simple CRUD Forms
typescript
// Overhead exceeds benefit
interface SimpleForm {
name: string;
email: string;
message: string;
}
Rationale: Type is obvious, validation happens at runtime anyway.
Type System Selection by Constraint
TypeScript: General Purpose
Optimal Constraints:
Team knows JavaScript
Web or Node.js application
Gradual adoption needed (can mix JS/TS)
Large standard library required
Example:
typescript
// Strict TypeScript configuration
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true
}
}
Trade-offs:
β Gradual adoption, wide ecosystem
β Weaker type system than Rust/Haskell
β Runtime type erasure (no runtime checks)
Rust: Systems and Performance
Optimal Constraints:
Performance critical (latency <10ms)
Memory safety required (no GC pauses)
High reliability (zero crashes acceptable)
Team has systems programming expertise
Example:
rust
// Ownership system prevents data races
pub struct User {
pub id: UserId,
pub email: String,
}
pub enum UserResult {
Success(User),
NotFound,
DatabaseError(String),
}
Trade-offs:
β Memory safety without GC, fearless concurrency
β Steep learning curve, slower development
β Smaller ecosystem than TypeScript
Python with Type Hints: Data and ML
Optimal Constraints:
Data processing or ML workloads
Team prefers Python
Rapid prototyping important
Type checking optional but desired
Example:
python
from typing import List, Optional
def process_data(
records: List[dict],
filter_key: str
) -> Optional[List[dict]]:
return [r for r in records if filter_key in r]
Trade-offs:
β Optional typing, gradual adoption
β Runtime type checking requires extra libraries
β Type system less powerful than TypeScript
Database Types: Critical for Correctness
Principle: Database schema is a type system. Use it.
Supabase/PostgreSQL Example
typescript
// Auto-generated from database schema
export interface Database {
public: {
Tables: {
users: {
Row: {
id: string; // UUID
email: string;
created_at: string; // ISO timestamp
};
Insert: {
id?: string;
email: string;
created_at?: string;
};
Update: {
email?: string;
};
};
};
};
}
// Type-safe database queries
const { data, error } = await supabase
.from('users')
.select('id, email')
.eq('email', '[email protected]')
.single();
// data is typed as Database['public']['Tables']['users']['Row']
Why This Matters:
Database and application types stay synchronized
Refactoring database cascades to code
AI-generated queries are type-checked
Repeat: Generate types from your database schema. Always.
Turso/SQLite Example
typescript
import { createClient } from '@libsql/client';
const db = createClient({
url: process.env.TURSO_DATABASE_URL!,
authToken: process.env.TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN!
});
// Type-safe query builder
type User = {
id: string;
email: string;
created_at: Date;
};
async function getUser(email: string): Promise<User | null> {
const result = await db.execute({
sql: 'SELECT id, email, created_at FROM users WHERE email = ?',
args: [email]
});
if (result.rows.length === 0) return null;
const row = result.rows[0];
return {
id: row.id as string,
email: row.email as string,
created_at: new Date(row.created_at as string)
};
}
Pattern: Always type database query results explicitly.
Type-Driven API Development
Pattern: Define types before implementation.
Request/Response Types
typescript
// Define contract first
namespace API {
export namespace CreateUser {
export interface Request {
email: string;
password: string;
role: 'admin' | 'user';
}
export type Response =
| { success: true; userId: string }
| { success: false; error: ErrorCode };
export type ErrorCode =
| 'INVALID_EMAIL'
| 'WEAK_PASSWORD'
| 'DUPLICATE_USER'
| 'RATE_LIMITED';
}
}
// Implementation must match types
export async function createUser(
req: API.CreateUser.Request
): Promise<API.CreateUser.Response> {
// Implementation here
}
Benefit: Client and server share types, breaking changes impossible.
Hono + TypeScript Example
typescript
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { zValidator } from '@hono/zod-validator';
const app = new Hono();
// Schema defines types and runtime validation
const createUserSchema = z.object({
email: z.string().email(),
password: z.string().min(8),
role: z.enum(['admin', 'user'])
});
type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof createUserSchema>;
app.post(
'/users',
zValidator('json', createUserSchema),
async (c) => {
const data: CreateUserInput = c.req.valid('json');
// data is typed and validated
const user = await createUser(data);
return c.json({ success: true, userId: user.id });
}
);
Why This Works:
Types derived from validation schema
Single source of truth
Runtime validation automatic
AI can't generate invalid requests
Type-Driven Development: AI Assistance
Critical Principle: Types constrain AI output space.
Without Types (Dangerous)
javascript
// AI prompt: "Add a function to get user by ID"
// AI might generate:
function getUser(id) {
return users.find(u => u.id == id); // Bug: == instead of ===
}
// Or:
async function getUser(id) {
return await fetch(`/api/users/${id}`); // Returns Response, not User
}
// Or:
function getUser(id) {
return database.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " + id); // SQL injection
}
Problem: AI has infinite possible implementations. Most are wrong.
With Types (Safe)
typescript
// Define types first
type UserId = string;
type User = {
id: UserId;
email: string;
role: 'admin' | 'user';
};
// AI prompt: "Implement getUser function"
function getUser(id: UserId): Promise<User | null> {
// AI *must* return Promise<User | null>
// AI *cannot* return Response or string
// Type system enforces correctness
}
Result: AI's valid implementation space reduced by 95%. Most bugs impossible.
Practical AI Workflow
1. Define Types First (While context is fresh)
typescript
interface TodoItem {
id: string;
text: string;
completed: boolean;
createdAt: Date;
}
interface TodoListProps {
items: TodoItem[];
onToggle: (id: string) => void;
onDelete: (id: string) => void;
}
2. Prompt AI with Types
Create a TodoList component that matches TodoListProps interface.
Use shadcn/ui Card components. Include keyboard navigation.
3. AI Implementation is Constrained
typescript
export function TodoList({ items, onToggle, onDelete }: TodoListProps) {
// AI must match interface, can't deviate
return (
<div>
{items.map(item => (
<Card key={item.id}>
<Checkbox
checked={item.completed}
onCheckedChange={() => onToggle(item.id)}
/>
{item.text}
</Card>
))}
</div>
);
}
4. Validation Automatic
bash
$ tsc --noEmit
# Catches all type errors immediately
Repeat: Always define types before asking AI to implement. Types = guardrails.
Constraint Checklist: When to Invest in Types
High-Value Scenarios (Invest heavily in types):
Complex domain logic (finance, healthcare, infrastructure)
Multiple developers or teams working on codebase
Long-lived system (>1 year lifespan)
API contracts between services
State machines or workflow engines
Data transformations with multiple steps
Using AI assistance for code generation
Low-Value Scenarios (Minimal types acceptable):
Prototype or spike (<1 week lifespan)
One-time script or migration
Solo developer, simple CRUD app
No integration points
Visual/UI work validated by human inspection
Decision Rule: If failure cost > typing cost, add types. Otherwise, skip.
Repeat: Types encode constraints. They make invalid states unrepresentable. Use them whenever ambiguity creates risk.
Part 3: Test-Driven Validation
The Context Loss Problem (Again, Because It's Critical)
Without Tests:
Developer/AI has full context of requirements
Code is written
Time passes, context fades
Bug found, but original requirements forgotten
Fix introduces new bugs because context is lost
With Tests:
Developer/AI has full context of requirements
Tests written to capture requirements
Code written to satisfy tests
Time passes, context fades
Bug found, tests still capture original requirements
Fix validated against tests, no regression
Key Insight: Tests preserve intent when human memory fails.
Constraint Analysis: When Tests Matter
High-Value Test Scenarios
1. Complex Business Logic
typescript
describe('Price calculation', () => {
it('applies tiered discount correctly', () => {
const order = {
items: [{ price: 1000, quantity: 10 }],
customer: { tier: 'gold', yearsActive: 5 }
};
const price = calculatePrice(order);
// Test captures business rule:
// Gold tier: 15% discount
// 5+ years: additional 5% discount
// Both: 19% total (multiplicative)
expect(price).toBe(8100); // 10000 * 0.85 * 0.95
});
});
Why This Matters: Business logic changes. Tests document original intent and catch regressions.
2. Edge Cases and Error Handling
typescript
describe('File upload', () => {
it('rejects files over 10MB', async () => {
const largeFile = createMockFile(11 * 1024 * 1024);
await expect(uploadFile(largeFile))
.rejects
.toThrow('File too large');
});
it('handles network failures gracefully', async () => {
mockNetworkFailure();
const result = await uploadFile(validFile);
expect(result.status).toBe('retry_scheduled');
expect(result.retryCount).toBe(1);
});
});
Why This Matters: Edge cases are forgotten. Tests ensure they stay handled.
3. Integration Points
typescript
describe('Stripe payment integration', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
setupStripeMock();
});
it('handles card declined correctly', async () => {
mockStripeDecline('insufficient_funds');
const result = await processPayment({
amount: 5000,
currency: 'usd',
paymentMethod: 'pm_card_visa'
});
expect(result.success).toBe(false);
expect(result.error).toBe('INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS');
expect(result.userMessage).toBe('Your card was declined due to insufficient funds');
});
});
Why This Matters: External APIs change. Tests catch breaking changes immediately.
Low-Value Test Scenarios
When to Skip Tests:
1. Simple UI Layout
typescript
// Don't test this
it('renders heading', () => {
render(<Header />);
expect(screen.getByText('Welcome')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
Rationale: Visual validation faster than test. No complex logic.
2. Pass-Through Functions
typescript
// Don't test this
export function getUsers() {
return database.users.findMany();
}
Rationale: No logic to test. Testing would just verify library works (already tested).
3. Prototypes
typescript
// Exploring API, no tests yet
async function explorePokemonAPI() {
const response = await fetch('https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/1');
console.log(await response.json());
}
Rationale: Disposable code, will be rewritten anyway.
Test-First Workflow (Critical Pattern)
Why Test-First: Writing tests while you have full context prevents context loss.
Pattern: Test β Type β Implement
1. Write Test (Captures Requirements)
typescript
describe('UserService', () => {
it('creates user with hashed password', async () => {
const service = new UserService(mockDatabase);
const user = await service.createUser({
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'plain-text-password'
});
expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
expect(user.email).toBe('[email protected]');
expect(user.passwordHash).not.toBe('plain-text-password');
expect(user.passwordHash).toMatch(/^\$2[aby]\$/); // bcrypt format
});
});
2. Define Types (From Test Requirements)
typescript
interface CreateUserInput {
email: string;
password: string;
}
interface User {
id: string;
email: string;
passwordHash: string;
createdAt: Date;
}
class UserService {
constructor(private db: Database) {}
async createUser(input: CreateUserInput): Promise<User> {
// Implementation goes here
}
}
3. Implement to Pass Test
typescript
class UserService {
async createUser(input: CreateUserInput): Promise<User> {
const passwordHash = await bcrypt.hash(input.password, 10);
const user = await this.db.users.create({
data: {
email: input.email,
passwordHash: passwordHash
}
});
return user;
}
}
Benefit: Test captures requirements while context is fresh. Types enforce contract. Implementation validates against test.
Unit Tests: Isolated Component Testing
Purpose: Verify individual functions/components in isolation.
Component Unit Test
typescript
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { LoginForm } from './LoginForm';
describe('LoginForm', () => {
const mockOnSubmit = jest.fn();
beforeEach(() => {
mockOnSubmit.mockClear();
});
it('validates email format', async () => {
render(<LoginForm onSubmit={mockOnSubmit} />);
const emailInput = screen.getByLabelText('Email');
const submitButton = screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Login' });
fireEvent.change(emailInput, { target: { value: 'invalid-email' } });
fireEvent.click(submitButton);
expect(screen.getByText('Invalid email address')).toBeInTheDocument();
expect(mockOnSubmit).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it('submits valid credentials', async () => {
render(<LoginForm onSubmit={mockOnSubmit} />);
fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText('Email'), {
target: { value: '[email protected]' }
});
fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText('Password'), {
target: { value: 'password123' }
});
fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Login' }));
expect(mockOnSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'password123'
});
});
});
What to Test in Units:
Input validation logic
State transitions
Event handlers
Conditional rendering
Error states
What NOT to Test in Units:
External API calls (mock them)
Database queries (mock them)
CSS/styling (visual testing)
Third-party library behavior
Integration Tests: Component Interaction
Purpose: Verify components work together correctly.
typescript
describe('User registration flow', () => {
let testDB: Database;
beforeEach(async () => {
testDB = await createTestDatabase();
});
afterEach(async () => {
await testDB.destroy();
});
it('completes registration and logs in user', async () => {
const { getByLabelText, getByRole, findByText } = render(
<App database={testDB} />
);
// Navigate to registration
fireEvent.click(getByRole('link', { name: 'Sign Up' }));
// Fill registration form
fireEvent.change(getByLabelText('Email'), {
target: { value: '[email protected]' }
});
fireEvent.change(getByLabelText('Password'), {
target: { value: 'secure-password-123' }
});
// Submit form
fireEvent.click(getByRole('button', { name: 'Create Account' }));
// Verify success and auto-login
await findByText('Welcome, [email protected]');
expect(window.location.pathname).toBe('/dashboard');
// Verify user in database
const user = await testDB.users.findUnique({
where: { email: '[email protected]' }
});
expect(user).toBeTruthy();
expect(user!.passwordHash).not.toBe('secure-password-123');
});
});
Integration Test Characteristics:
Uses real (test) database
Tests multiple components together
Verifies data persistence
Checks navigation flows
End-to-End Tests: Complete User Journeys
Purpose: Verify entire application works from user perspective.
typescript
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test.describe('E-commerce checkout', () => {
test('complete purchase flow', async ({ page }) => {
// Start at homepage
await page.goto('/');
// Search for product
await page.fill('[data-testid="search"]', 'wireless mouse');
await page.click('[data-testid="search-button"]');
// Select product
await page.click('text=Logitech MX Master 3');
await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Logitech MX Master 3');
// Add to cart
await page.click('[data-testid="add-to-cart"]');
await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="cart-count"]')).toHaveText('1');
// Proceed to checkout
await page.click('[data-testid="cart-icon"]');
await page.click('text=Checkout');
// Fill shipping info
await page.fill('[name="fullName"]', 'John Doe');
await page.fill('[name="address"]', '123 Main St');
await page.fill('[name="city"]', 'Portland');
await page.selectOption('[name="state"]', 'OR');
await page.fill('[name="zip"]', '97201');
// Fill payment info (test mode)
await page.fill('[name="cardNumber"]', '4242424242424242');
await page.fill('[name="expiry"]', '12/25');
await page.fill('[name="cvc"]', '123');
// Complete purchase
await page.click('text=Place Order');
// Verify confirmation
await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="order-confirmation"]'))
.toBeVisible();
await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="order-number"]'))
.toMatch(/ORDER-\d{6}/);
});
});
E2E Test Characteristics:
Tests real browser
No mocking (uses test environment)
Validates entire user journey
Catches integration issues
When to Use E2E Tests:
Critical user paths (checkout, registration)
Cross-browser compatibility
Before production deployment
Regression prevention for key flows
Continuous Integration: Automated Validation
Purpose: Run tests automatically on every code change.

Testing Anti-Patterns (What NOT to Do)
Anti-Pattern #1: Testing Implementation Details
typescript
// β BAD: Testing internal state
it('increments counter state', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<Counter />);
expect(wrapper.state('count')).toBe(0);
wrapper.instance().incrementCount();
expect(wrapper.state('count')).toBe(1);
});
// β
GOOD: Testing behavior
it('displays incremented count when button clicked', () => {
render(<Counter />);
expect(screen.getByText('Count: 0')).toBeInTheDocument();
fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Increment' }));
expect(screen.getByText('Count: 1')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
Why: Implementation can change, behavior should not. Test behavior.
Anti-Pattern #2: Overmocking
typescript
// β BAD: Mocking everything
jest.mock('./database');
jest.mock('./emailService');
jest.mock('./logger');
jest.mock('./cache');
it('creates user', async () => {
// Test tells us nothing about real behavior
});
// β
GOOD: Integration test with real (test) services
it('creates user and sends welcome email', async () => {
const testDB = await createTestDB();
const testEmail = new TestEmailService();
const service = new UserService(testDB, testEmail);
await service.createUser({ email: '[email protected]' });
expect(await testDB.users.count()).toBe(1);
expect(testEmail.sentEmails).toHaveLength(1);
});
Why: Overmocking tests mocks, not real code.
Anti-Pattern #3: Test-After Development
typescript
// β BAD: Write code, then tests
// 1. Implement feature (lose context)
// 2. Write tests (incomplete because context lost)
// 3. Tests pass but miss edge cases
// β
GOOD: Test-first development
// 1. Write test capturing requirements (full context)
// 2. Implement to pass test
// 3. Tests capture actual requirements
Why: Tests written after lose context. Test-first preserves it.
Constraint Checklist: Testing Investment
High-Value Testing (Invest heavily):
Complex business logic with many edge cases
Financial/healthcare/safety-critical systems
Public APIs with external consumers
Long-lived systems (>1 year)
Multiple developers working on codebase
Frequent changes/refactoring expected
Low-Value Testing (Minimal tests):
Prototype or proof-of-concept
Internal tool used by 1-2 people
Simple CRUD with no business logic
UI/visual work (use visual testing instead)
Short-lived project (<3 months)
Decision Rule: Test coverage should match failure cost.
Repeat: Tests preserve context. Write them while context is fresh. Test-first prevents context loss.
Part 4: Production-Ready Practices
The Core Principle: Production from Day One
Common Mistake: "We'll productionize it later."
Reality: Later never comes. Technical debt compounds. Security holes persist.
Correct Approach: Build production-ready from the start. It's easier than retrofitting.
Constraint Analysis: Production Requirements
Business Constraints Define Production
SLA Requirements:
99.9% uptime = 43 minutes downtime/month
99.99% uptime = 4.3 minutes downtime/month
99.999% uptime = 26 seconds downtime/month
Each nine costs 10x more to achieve.
Example:
Constraint: Internal tool, business hours only
Acceptable: 99% uptime (7 hours downtime/month)
Solution: Simple deployment, manual recovery, low monitoring
Constraint: Customer-facing SaaS, 24/7 operations
Required: 99.95% uptime (22 minutes downtime/month)
Solution: Multi-region, auto-failover, comprehensive monitoring
Decision Rule: Match production investment to business constraint. Over-engineering is waste.
Security: Non-Negotiable Foundations
Authentication & Authorization
Pattern: Never trust client, always verify server-side.
Row-Level Security (RLS)
sql
-- Supabase/PostgreSQL example
-- Enable RLS on table
ALTER TABLE user_data ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
-- Policy: Users can only access their own data
CREATE POLICY "users_own_data" ON user_data
FOR ALL
USING (auth.uid() = user_id);
-- Policy: Admins can access all data
CREATE POLICY "admins_full_access" ON user_data
FOR ALL
USING (
EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM user_roles
WHERE user_id = auth.uid()
AND role = 'admin'
)
);
Why RLS Matters: Security at database level. Even compromised API can't leak unauthorized data.
API Route Protection
typescript
// Cloudflare Workers + Hono
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { jwt } from 'hono/jwt';
const app = new Hono();
// Middleware: Verify JWT on all /api/* routes
app.use('/api/*', jwt({
secret: env.JWT_SECRET
}));
// Protected endpoint
app.get('/api/user/:id', async (c) => {
const payload = c.get('jwtPayload');
const requestedId = c.req.param('id');
// Authorization check
if (payload.sub !== requestedId && payload.role !== 'admin') {
return c.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, 403);
}
// Fetch user data
const user = await getUser(requestedId);
return c.json(user);
});
Security Checklist (Repeat for emphasis):
Authentication on all non-public routes
Authorization checks server-side (never trust client)
RLS policies on all database tables
Input validation on all endpoints
Rate limiting to prevent abuse
HTTPS only (enforce, never optional)
Secrets in environment variables, never committed
SQL injection protection (parameterized queries only)
XSS protection (sanitize user input)
CSRF protection for state-changing operations
Common AI Security Mistakes (Watch for these):
sql
-- β BAD: AI often generates this
CREATE POLICY "allow_all" ON table_name
FOR ALL USING (true);
-- β
GOOD: Explicit access control
CREATE POLICY "user_access" ON table_name
FOR ALL USING (auth.uid() = user_id);
typescript
// β BAD: AI sometimes generates
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;
// β
GOOD: Parameterized query
const query = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?').bind(userId);
Repeat: Security cannot be retrofitted. Build it in from day one.
Environment Separation: Dev β Staging β Production
Purpose: Catch issues before they reach customers.
Environment Configuration
typescript
// config/environment.ts
type Environment = 'development' | 'staging' | 'production';
interface Config {
environment: Environment;
databaseUrl: string;
apiUrl: string;
logLevel: 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';
enableAnalytics: boolean;
rateLimitPerMinute: number;
}
const configs: Record<Environment, Config> = {
development: {
environment: 'development',
databaseUrl: 'http://localhost:5432/dev_db',
apiUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
logLevel: 'debug',
enableAnalytics: false,
rateLimitPerMinute: 1000 // No limit in dev
},
staging: {
environment: 'staging',
databaseUrl: process.env.STAGING_DB_URL!,
apiUrl: 'https://api-staging.example.com',
logLevel: 'info',
enableAnalytics: true,
rateLimitPerMinute: 100
},
production: {
environment: 'production',
databaseUrl: process.env.PROD_DB_URL!,
apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
logLevel: 'error',
enableAnalytics: true,
rateLimitPerMinute: 60
}
};
export const config = configs[process.env.NODE_ENV as Environment];
Deployment Pipeline

Environment Progression:
Development: Local machine, fast iteration
Staging: Production-like, test before release
Production: Real users, monitored carefully
Staging Requirements (Critical):
Same architecture as production
Representative data (anonymized if sensitive)
Same security policies as production
Separate database (never test on production DB)
Repeat: Always test in staging before production. Always.
Monitoring & Observability
Purpose: Know when things break before customers do.
Health Check Endpoint
typescript
// Cloudflare Worker health check
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
if (new URL(request.url).pathname === '/health') {
const checks = {
database: false,
cache: false,
externalAPI: false
};
try {
// Database check
const dbResult = await env.DB.prepare(
'SELECT 1 as health'
).first();
checks.database = dbResult?.health === 1;
// Cache check
await env.KV.put('health_check', Date.now().toString());
checks.cache = true;
// External API check (optional)
const apiResponse = await fetch('https://api.example.com/ping', {
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(2000) // 2s timeout
});
checks.externalAPI = apiResponse.ok;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Health check failed:', error);
}
const healthy = Object.values(checks).every(check => check);
return Response.json({
status: healthy ? 'healthy' : 'degraded',
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
checks
}, {
status: healthy ? 200 : 503,
headers: {
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
}
});
}
// Regular request handling
return handleRequest(request, env);
}
};
Error Tracking & Logging
typescript
// utils/logger.ts
interface LogEvent {
level: 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';
message: string;
context?: Record<string, any>;
userId?: string;
requestId?: string;
timestamp: string;
}
class Logger {
async log(event: LogEvent, env: Env) {
const isDevelopment = env.ENVIRONMENT === 'development';
// Console in development
if (isDevelopment) {
console[event.level](event.message, event.context);
return;
}
// Structured logging in production
if (event.level === 'error' || event.level === 'warn') {
// Send to external service (e.g., Sentry)
await fetch('https://api.sentry.io/...', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
level: event.level,
message: event.message,
extra: event.context,
user: event.userId,
tags: { requestId: event.requestId }
})
});
}
// Also log to database for analysis
await env.DB.prepare(`
INSERT INTO logs (level, message, context, user_id, request_id, created_at)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
`).bind(
event.level,
event.message,
JSON.stringify(event.context),
event.userId,
event.requestId,
event.timestamp
).run();
}
error(message: string, context?: any) {
return this.log({
level: 'error',
message,
context,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
});
}
warn(message: string, context?: any) {
return this.log({
level: 'warn',
message,
context,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
});
}
}
export const logger = new Logger();
Performance Monitoring
typescript
// Middleware: Track request performance
async function performanceMiddleware(
c: Context,
next: () => Promise<void>
) {
const start = Date.now();
const requestId = crypto.randomUUID();
// Add request ID to context
c.set('requestId', requestId);
try {
await next();
} finally {
const duration = Date.now() - start;
const path = new URL(c.req.url).pathname;
// Log slow requests
if (duration > 1000) {
logger.warn('Slow request', {
path,
duration,
requestId,
method: c.req.method
});
}
// Track metrics
await c.env.ANALYTICS.writeDataPoint({
blobs: [path, c.req.method],
doubles: [duration],
indexes: [requestId]
});
}
}
Alerting Rules
Critical Alerts (Page engineer immediately):
Error rate >5% for 5 minutes
Health check failing
API response time >5s (p95)
Database connection failures
Warning Alerts (Review next business day):
Error rate >1% for 15 minutes
API response time >2s (p95)
Memory usage >80%
Unusual traffic patterns
Monitoring Checklist:
Health check endpoint implemented
Error tracking service configured (Sentry, etc)
Performance monitoring enabled
Alert rules defined
On-call rotation established
Runbook for common issues
Repeat: Monitor production continuously. Alerts should wake you up before customers complain.
Technical Debt Management: No Broken Windows
Principle: Fix issues immediately, don't accumulate debt.
Broken Window Theory: One unfixed issue signals "quality doesn't matter here," leading to rapid degradation.
Immediate Fixes Required
typescript
// β BROKEN WINDOW - Never commit this
const AssessmentCard = (props: any) => { // TODO: fix types
// FIXME: This is a hack
const color = '#ff0000'; // TODO: use design tokens
return (
<div onClick={props.onClick}> {/* TODO: add accessibility */}
{props.title}
</div>
);
};
// β
FIXED IMMEDIATELY - No TODOs in merged code
interface AssessmentCardProps {
title: string;
onClick: () => void;
variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
}
export const AssessmentCard: FC<AssessmentCardProps> = ({
title,
onClick,
variant = 'primary'
}) => {
return (
<Card
onClick={onClick}
onKeyDown={(e) => e.key === 'Enter' && onClick()}
role="button"
tabIndex={0}
className={cn(
'cursor-pointer',
variant === 'primary' ? 'bg-primary' : 'bg-secondary'
)}
>
<CardHeader>
<CardTitle>{title}</CardTitle>
</CardHeader>
</Card>
);
};
Pre-Commit Hooks (Prevent Debt)
javascript
// .husky/pre-commit
#!/bin/sh
# Type check
npm run type-check || exit 1
# Lint
npm run lint || exit 1
# Format
npm run format:check || exit 1
# Check for TODOs in staged files
if git diff --cached --name-only | xargs grep -l "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK" > /dev/null; then
echo "β Found TODO/FIXME/HACK in staged files"
echo "Fix these before committing or document in issue tracker"
exit 1
fi
# Run tests
npm run test:changed || exit 1
Debt Prevention Rules:
No TODO comments in production code
No any types (use unknown then narrow)
No disabled linting rules without justification
No skipped tests without issue reference
No copy-pasted code (extract to shared function)
Repeat: Fix it now or schedule it immediately. Never accumulate debt.
Documentation: Production Essential
Purpose: Enable others to understand and maintain the system.

**Technical**:
- RESTful API (no WebSockets)
- 50GB database, read-heavy (90% reads)
- Predictable traffic (10k-50k requests/hour)
**Organizational**:
- Team: 3 developers
- No dedicated DevOps
- Developers on-call rotation
## Decision
Deploy API on Cloudflare Workers with regional D1 databases and KV caching.
## Rationale
**Latency Constraint (<100ms)**:
- Traditional approach: Single-region server, 200ms+ from Asia
- Edge approach: Cloudflare has 300+ edge locations, <50ms globally
- β
Satisfies latency constraint
**Budget Constraint ($2k/month)**:
- AWS: EC2 multi-region + RDS read replicas = $1800/month
- Cloudflare: Workers + D1 = $200/month at 1M requests/day
- β
90% cost savings
**No DevOps Constraint**:
- AWS: Requires server management, scaling config, monitoring setup
- Cloudflare: Fully managed, auto-scales, built-in monitoring
- β
Eliminates operations burden
## Implementation
**Architecture**:
[Client] β [Cloudflare Edge] ββ> [Worker (Hono API)] ββ> [D1 Database (SQLite)] ββ> [KV (Cache)]
**Caching Strategy**:
- User sessions: KV (60 minute TTL)
- API responses: Cache-Control headers
- Static assets: R2 + CDN
**Database**:
- D1 primary in US-East
- Read replicas in EU, APAC
- Write operations route to primary
## Consequences
**Positive**:
- Global <50ms latency achieved
- 90% cost reduction vs AWS
- Zero infrastructure management
- Auto-scaling built-in
**Negative**:
- D1 single-writer (acceptable for read-heavy workload)
- 30s execution timeout (non-issue for API)
- Vendor lock-in to Cloudflare (mitigated by Hono portability)
## Monitoring
- Workers Analytics: Request volume, latency, errors
- Real User Monitoring (RUM): Actual user experience
- Alerts:
- Error rate >5% for 5 minutes
- P95 latency >200ms
- Health check failures
## Review Triggers
Revisit if:
- Write operations exceed 10% of traffic
- Database exceeds 10GB (D1 limit)
- Traffic exceeds 10M requests/day
- Real-time features needed (WebSockets)
Deployment Runbook
markdown

# Run tests
npm run test:all
# Build
npm run build
# Deploy
npm run deploy:staging
# Smoke test
curl -f https://api-staging.example.com/health || exit 1
npm run test:smoke:staging
2. Production Deployment
bash
# Set environment
export NODE_ENV=production
# Final verification
npm run test:all
npm run build
# Deploy
npm run deploy:production
# Immediate health check
curl -f https://api.example.com/health || exit 1
# Monitor for 5 minutes
watch -n 30 'curl -s https://api.example.com/health | jq .status'
3. Post-Deployment Verification
Health check returns 200
Key endpoints responding (<200ms)
Error rate <0.1%
No alerts triggered
User-facing features functional (manual check)
Rollback Procedure
If issues detected:
bash
# Immediate rollback
npm run rollback:production
# Verify rollback successful
curl -f https://api.example.com/health
# Investigate in staging
npm run deploy:staging
# Debug issue...
Database Migrations
bash
# Always test in staging first
npm run migrate:staging
# Verify migration successful
npm run test:integration:staging
# Then production
npm run migrate:production
Migration Best Practices:
Always additive (never drop columns)
Add new columns as nullable first
Backfill data in separate step
Remove old columns only after app updated
Common Issues
Issue: High Error Rate After Deployment
Symptoms: Error rate >5%, health check passing
Diagnosis:
bash
# Check recent errors
curl https://api.example.com/admin/errors?since=5m
# Check logs
wrangler tail
Resolution:
Identify failing endpoint
Rollback immediately
Debug in staging
Re-deploy with fix
Issue: Slow Response Times
Symptoms: P95 latency >1s
Diagnosis:
bash
# Check performance metrics
curl https://api.example.com/admin/metrics
# Identify slow queries
Check Workers Analytics dashboard
Resolution:
Add caching if appropriate
Optimize slow database queries
Consider pagination for large responses

## Production Readiness Checklist
**Before First Deployment**:
**Security**:
- [ ] Authentication implemented
- [ ] Authorization checks on all endpoints
- [ ] RLS policies on database
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] Rate limiting
- [ ] HTTPS enforced
- [ ] Secrets in env variables
- [ ] Security audit completed
**Testing**:
- [ ] Unit tests (>80% coverage)
- [ ] Integration tests
- [ ] E2E tests for critical paths
- [ ] Load testing completed
- [ ] Security scan passed
**Infrastructure**:
- [ ] Staging environment matches production
- [ ] Monitoring configured
- [ ] Alerting rules defined
- [ ] Health check endpoint
- [ ] Deployment pipeline automated
- [ ] Rollback procedure documented

## Constraint Checklist: Production Investment
**High-Investment Scenarios**:
- [ ] Customer-facing application
- [ ] Financial/healthcare/regulated industry
- [ ] SLA commitments to customers
- [ ] Multiple 9s uptime required
- [ ] High transaction volume
- [ ] Sensitive user data
**Low-Investment Scenarios**:
- [ ] Internal tool, business hours only
- [ ] Proof of concept, no real users
- [ ] Acceptable downtime (hours per month)
- [ ] Small team, direct user feedback
- [ ] Non-critical workload
**Decision Rule**: Match production rigor to business consequences of failure.
**Repeat**: Production-ready doesn't mean over-engineered. It means appropriate for constraints.

# Conclusion: The Integrated System
These four principles form an integrated system where each reinforces the others:
1. **Constraint Analysis** β Identifies true leverage points
2. **Type-Driven Development** β Encodes constraints in code
3. **Test-Driven Validation** β Preserves intent over time
4. **Production-Ready Practices** β Deploys safely from start
**The Meta-Pattern**:
Constraints Define Architecture β Types Encode Constraints β Tests Validate Against Types β Production Verifies Real-World Behavior β Monitoring Feeds Back to Constraints
**Critical Insight**: This is a feedback loop, not a linear process. Production monitoring reveals new constraints, which update architecture, which update types, which update tests.
**Repeat for Final Emphasis**:
- Identify constraints before designing
- Encode constraints in types
- Validate behavior with tests
- Deploy to production safely
- Monitor continuously
- Iterate based on feedback
**These principles compound**. Each makes the others more effective. Skip one, and the system weakens.

# Appendix: Team Implementation Strategy
## For Solo Developers
**Constraints**: One person, limited time, must ship.
**Adaptation**:
- Focus on types and tests for complex logic only
- Use managed services (minimize ops)
- Simple architecture (monolith > microservices)
- Basic monitoring (error tracking + uptime)
- Document decisions in code comments (ADRs optional)
**Example Stack**:
- React SPA + Cloudflare Workers + D1
- TypeScript strict mode
- Vitest for critical path testing
- Cloudflare Analytics for monitoring
## For Small Teams (2-5 Engineers)
**Constraints**: Limited coordination, must stay aligned.
**Adaptation**:
- Full type coverage (prevents miscommunication)
- Test critical paths (not 100% coverage)
- Staging environment required
- ADRs for all major decisions
- Weekly architecture reviews
**Example Stack**:
- Monorepo (shared types)
- TypeScript + Hono + D1
- Integration tests for API contracts
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
## For Large Teams (>10 Engineers)
**Constraints**: Coordination complexity, multiple services.
**Adaptation**:
- Strict API contracts (OpenAPI/gRPC)
- Comprehensive testing (unit + integration + E2E)
- Multiple environments (dev/staging/prod)
- Formal ADR process
- Dedicated DevOps/SRE
**Example Stack**:
- Microservices or monorepo
- TypeScript + contract testing
- Distributed tracing
- Multi-region deployment
**Key Point**: Adapt rigor to team size. Solo developer doesn't need microservices. Large team needs coordination overhead.
---
# Optional: Gamification for Team Engagement
**Context**: Some teams benefit from gamification to build habits and reinforce concepts.
**When to Use**:
- New team members learning principles
- Training junior developers
- Building shared vocabulary
- Making abstract concepts concrete
**When to Skip**:
- Senior team, intrinsically motivated
- Time-sensitive delivery
- Gamification feels forced
**Example Implementation**:
**Achievement System**:
- ποΈ **Architect**: Document all constraints before design
- π **Type Safe**: Zero `any` types in PR
- β
**Test First**: Tests written before implementation
- π **Production Ready**: Zero issues in first week post-deploy
- π₯ **Zero Debt**: No TODOs in merged code for 1 month
**Team Dashboard**:
- Track principles adoption across PRs
- Celebrate wins (not competition)
- Identify learning opportunities
**Critical**: Gamification is a tool, not the goal. Use sparingly, discard if ineffective.

# PERFORMANCE NOTES
# ============================================================================
# This robots.txt is optimized for:
# 1. Allowing legitimate search engines full access
# 2. Blocking duplicate content from being indexed
# 3. Protecting private areas and admin sections
# 4. Preventing resource waste from bad bots
# 5. Maintaining good relationship with AI crawlers (for LLM training)
# ============================================================================
# IMPORTANT NOTES
# ============================================================================
# robots.txt is a PUBLIC file - never put sensitive information here
# It's a suggestion, not a security measure - use proper authentication
# Test your robots.txt: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/robots-testing-tool
# Monitor your Google Search Console for crawl errors
# Update this file when site structure changes significantly
# For AI/LLM context about this website, see: /llm.txt

# Next review: 2025-04-01 (quarterly review recommended)</div>
<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px;">Advanced Robots.txt Patterns</h2>
<div class="grid-2">
<div class="card">
<h3>Wildcard Usage</h3>
<div class="code-block" style="margin-top: 10px;"># Block all URLs with query parameters
Disallow: /*?
# Block specific file type
Disallow: /*.pdf$
# Allow specific path
Allow: /blog/*.pdf$</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Case Sensitivity</h3>
<div class="code-block" style="margin-top: 10px;"># robots.txt is case-sensitive!
# These are DIFFERENT:
Disallow: /Admin/
Disallow: /admin/
# Be consistent with URL structure</div>

<h2>Cost & Performance Considerations</h2>
<div class="grid-2">
<div class="card">
<h3>π° Pricing Estimates</h3>
<h4>Monthly costs for 10k users:</h4>
<div class="code-block" style="margin-top: 10px;">Cloudflare Workers: ~$5
(100k requests/day included free)
Vectorize: ~$10
(Embeddings + queries)
OpenRouter (Claude): ~$50-200
(Depends on usage, ~20 msgs/user)
Ultravox: ~$30-100
(Voice minutes used)
11 Labs: ~$25-75
(TTS characters)
Total: ~$120-390/month
With caching & optimization: ~$80-200/month</div>
<div class="annotation" style="margin-top: 10px;">
Use Ollama locally for dev/staging to reduce costs!
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>β‘ Performance Targets</h3>
<h4>Expected Response Times:</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li><strong>Chat first token:</strong> <500ms</li>
<li><strong>Chat full response:</strong> 2-4s</li>
<li><strong>Voice latency:</strong> <300ms (Ultravox)</li>
<li><strong>Search results:</strong> <200ms (Vectorize)</li>
<li><strong>TTS generation:</strong> <1s (11 Labs)</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="margin-top: 15px;">Optimization Strategies:</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li>Edge caching for common queries</li>
<li>Streaming responses</li>
<li>Predictive pre-loading</li>
<li>Model selection based on complexity</li>
<li>Fallback to faster models under load</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="ai-note">
<strong>π― Recommended Approach:</strong><br>
Start with Cloudflare Vibe SDK + OpenRouter for chat. Add Ultravox voice when budget allows. Use Ollama for development. This gets you 80% of the way there with 20% of the complexity.

<h3>Backend Stack</h3>
<h4>Recommended: Cloudflare-First</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li><strong>API:</strong> tRPC (type-safe) or Hono (fast)</li>
<li><strong>Database:</strong> D1 (SQLite at edge)</li>
<li><strong>Storage:</strong> R2 for media/files</li>
<li><strong>Vector DB:</strong> Vectorize for AI search</li>
<li><strong>Real-time:</strong> Durable Objects</li>
<li><strong>Queue:</strong> Cloudflare Queues</li>
<li><strong>Cron:</strong> Cloudflare Cron Triggers</li>
</ul>
<div class="annotation" style="margin-top: 15px;">
All-in on Cloudflare = simplified ops, better performance, lower costs. Everything runs at the edge.

<h2>Smart "Built-In" Strategy</h2>
<div class="ai-note">
<strong>Philosophy:</strong> Not everything needs to be truly built-in. Sometimes linking to a separate app with SSO feels just as integrated to users, while being WAY easier to build and maintain.
</div>
<div class="grid-3" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<div class="card">
<h3>β
Build In</h3>
<h4>Core Features:</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li>Site management</li>
<li>Page editor</li>
<li>Blog system</li>
<li>Media library</li>
<li>AI chat assistant</li>
<li>Component browser</li>
<li>Simple code editor (CodeMirror)</li>
</ul>
<div class="annotation" style="margin-top: 10px;">
These are the core platform. Must be seamless.
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>π Link with SSO</h3>
<h4>Complex Features:</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li>Theia IDE (full dev environment)</li>
<li>Agent development studio</li>
<li>Advanced analytics</li>
<li>A/B testing platform</li>
<li>Email campaign builder</li>
</ul>
<div class="annotation" style="margin-top: 10px;">
Complex enough that separate apps make sense. Auto-login makes it feel integrated.
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>π Integrate via API</h3>
<h4>Third-Party:</h4>
<ul style="padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px;">
<li>Figma (design imports)</li>
<li>GitHub (code sync)</li>
<li>Stripe (payments)</li>
<li>Mailchimp (newsletters)</li>
<li>Google Analytics</li>
</ul>
<div class="annotation" style="margin-top: 10px;">
Use existing tools. Focus on great integrations, not reinventing wheels.

<strong>π Key Insight:</strong> This is a massive undertaking, but totally feasible with the right team and approach. The "link with SSO" strategy for complex features will save MONTHS of development time. Focus on the core CMS experience first, then layer on the advanced features. Ship early, iterate based on user feedback.
