Modern Node.js applications require more than just working code. They need clean architecture, maintainable patterns, and design principles that scale with complexity.
This series will guide you through the most important design patterns and principles for Node.js development — from SOLID and DRY to composition over inheritance and separation of concerns. Each chapter includes complete code examples and practical applications.
What You'll Learn

Node.js Design Patterns
By Hernando Abella
Master SOLID principles, clean architecture, DRY, KISS, YAGNI, and essential design patterns for building scalable Node.js applications with real-world examples and production-ready code.
Chapters
Each chapter includes complete code examples, practical explanations, and real-world applications you can adapt for your own Node.js projects.
Applying SOLID Principles in Modern JavaScript Applications
Learn the five SOLID principles and how to apply them in JavaScript and Node.js to write maintainable, scalable, and testable code.
DRY, KISS, and YAGNI: Essential Principles for Node.js Developers
Master three timeless engineering principles that help Node.js developers reduce complexity, improve readability, and avoid unnecessary work.
Functional Programming vs Object-Oriented Design in Node.js
Explore both programming paradigms, compare their strengths and weaknesses, and learn when to use each approach in Node.js applications.
Why Composition Beats Inheritance in Large Applications
Discover why modern software design favors composition over inheritance, and learn how to build more flexible and maintainable Node.js applications.
Separation of Concerns: Building Cleaner Backend Systems
Learn how to organize Node.js applications into distinct layers, reduce coupling, improve testability, and build systems that scale.
