An evolving, community-maintained guide from Futurice describing general best practices for backend development, covering persistence, environments, security, and monitoring. It is a documentation/checklist resource rather than runnable software.

Use cases

• learn backend development best practices
• find a checklist for releasing a backend service
• decide between SQL and NoSQL for data persistence
• harden backend security like secrets and password storage
• set up development, staging, and production environments
• plan application monitoring and status pages

When to choose

• you want opinionated, practical guidelines for building and operating backend services
• you need checklists for releases, responsibilities, and security reviews
• you are onboarding developers into backend engineering practices

When to avoid

• you need runnable code, libraries, or tooling rather than written guidance
• you require a specific, versioned standard or compliance framework
• you need language-specific backend advice
