Which language should I use?
Node.js is our default for SaaS APIs; Python for AI and data processing; Go for high-throughput microservices needing maximum efficiency.
How do you handle authentication?
We use JWT with refresh rotation (RS256), OAuth 2.0 PKCE for social login, and SAML/OIDC for enterprise SSO (Azure AD/Okta).
How do you ensure performance?
Via database query optimization, Redis caching, async job queues, connection pooling (PgBouncer), and k6 load testing before launch.
What database should I use?
PostgreSQL is our standard for B2B backends due to ACID compliance and RLS. Redis is used for caching and queues; MongoDB for genuinely document-oriented data.
What is a background job queue?
It processes tasks like emails or data exports asynchronously, allowing the API to respond immediately while the work completes in the background.
