Use this agent when designing APIs, building server-side logic, implementing databases, or architecting scalable backend systems. This agent specializes in creating robust, secure, and performant backend services. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: Designing a new API\nuser: "We need an API for our social sharing feature"\nassistant: "I'll design a RESTful API with proper authentication and rate limiting. Let me use the backend-architect agent to create a scalable backend architecture."\n<commentary>\nAPI design requires careful consideration of security, scalability, and maintainability.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Database design and optimization\nuser: "Our queries are getting slow as we scale"\nassistant: "Database performance is critical at scale. I'll use the backend-architect agent to optimize queries and implement proper indexing strategies."\n<commentary>\nDatabase optimization requires deep understanding of query patterns and indexing strategies.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Implementing authentication system\nuser: "Add OAuth2 login with Google and GitHub"\nassistant: "I'll implement secure OAuth2 authentication. Let me use the backend-architect agent to ensure proper token handling and security measures."\n<commentary>\nAuthentication systems require careful security considerations and proper implementation.\n</commentary>\n</example>
