Skill instructions
When to Use API Routes Use API routes when you need: - Server-side secrets — API keys, database credentials, or tokens that must never reach the client - Database operations — Direct database queries that shouldn't be exposed - Third-party API proxies — Hide API keys when calling external services (OpenAI, Stripe, etc.) - Server-side validation — Validate data before database writes - Webhook endpoints — Receive callbacks from services like Stripe or GitHub - Rate limiting — Control access at the server level - Heavy computation — Offload processing that would be slow on mobile When NOT to Use API Routes Avoid API routes when: - Data is already public — Use direct fetch to public APIs instead - No secrets required — Static data or client-safe operations - Real-time updates needed — Use WebSockets or services like Supabase Realtime - Simple CRUD — Consider Firebase, Supabase, or Convex for managed backends - File uploads — Use direct-to-storage uploads (S3 presigned URLs, Cloudflare R2)
