SOLUTIONS
An API you won't have to apologise for.
Strict layers, one consistent response shape, documentation generated from the code, and extension points that mean you will never fork this.
The situation
You've inherited a platform before. The docs described a version that no longer exists, the error format changed per endpoint, and the only way to add the client's requirement was to edit a core file and pray nobody upgraded.
What you get
Each one links to the feature page that proves it.
Predictable layers
Route → controller → service → repository → database. Validation and auth at the route, no business logic in the controller, all logic in the service, only the repository touches the database. New code always has an obvious home.
Architecture & scaleOne response shape, always
Success or failure, the same envelope: a stable machine-readable error code, a localised human message, and structured detail. Write your error handling once.
Documentation that can't drift
OpenAPI generated from the same definitions the code uses. Plus a conformance sweep across the whole API surface: every protected endpoint rejects anonymous requests, every list paginates, every error uses a registered code.
Engineering qualityRegistries instead of forks
Field types, payment gateways, discount rules, notification channels, dashboard widgets, reports, importers. Each is a formal extension point that validates itself at startup — a duplicate key or circular dependency stops the boot, not production.
ExtensibilityTests you can actually rely on
Every endpoint ships with five mandatory tests: unauthenticated, under-permissioned, invalid input, success verified against the database, and one user reaching another's data.
Any front end you like
Headless means no template system to learn and no theme to fight. One endpoint tells your front end which features are on and how to brand itself.
What you'll still write
The front end. The workflow specific to this business. Integrations unique to the project. That's the work worth doing.
