Quick Start - Express.js API
import express, { Request, Response } from 'express';
import { prisma } from './lib/prisma';
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
// GET all users app.get('/users', async (req: Request, res: Response) => { try { const users = await prisma.user.findMany(); res.json(users); } catch (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to fetch users' }); } });
// POST new user app.post('/users', async (req: Request, res: Response) => { const { email, name } = req.body; try { const user = await prisma.user.create({ data: { email, name } }); res.status(201).json(user); } catch (error) { res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid data' }); } });
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on 3000'));

## Best Practices
1. **API Design** - RESTful or GraphQL standards
2. **Database** - Proper indexing and optimization
3. **Security** - Input validation, parameterized queries
4. **Error Handling** - Meaningful error messages
5. **Testing** - Unit and integration tests
6. **Documentation** - OpenAPI/Swagger docs
7. **Logging** - Structured logging
8. **Performance** - Response time optimization
