Core Principles

Create connections once: DB/Redis pools are singletons — never instantiate per request.

Validate at boundaries: All external input validated with Zod/TypeBox before business logic.

Catch async errors: Unhandled promise rejections crash Node.js — always handle.

Fail fast on bad config: Validate all env vars at startup with Zod — exit(1) if invalid.

Graceful shutdown: SIGTERM handler closes connections, drains in-flight requests.
