  • Use environment variables instead of hardcoding
  • Rotate API keys regularly

Security Best Practices

  • Use HTTPS for local development
  • Enable CORS protection
  • Implement input validation
  • Regular backup of development data

Access Control

  • Use role-based access control
  • Implement proper authentication
  • Monitor access logs regularly
  • Use secure development practices

🔄 Development Workflow Best Practices

Streamline your development process with these proven workflow practices

Version Control

  • Use meaningful commit messages
  • Create feature branches for new work
  • Review code before merging
  • Keep commits atomic and focused
  • Use semantic versioning

Testing Strategy

  • Write unit tests for critical functions
  • Implement integration tests
  • Use automated testing in CI/CD
  • Test across different browsers
  • Perform regular security audits

Documentation

  • Maintain README files
  • Document API endpoints
  • Keep setup instructions updated
  • Use inline code comments
  • Create troubleshooting guides

Code Quality

  • Follow coding standards
  • Use linting tools
  • Implement code formatting
  • Conduct peer code reviews
  • Refactor legacy code regularly

🔧 Common Development Issues & Solutions

Quick solutions to frequently encountered development problems

Port Conflicts

When you get "port already in use" errors:

  • Find the process: lsof -i :PORT or netstat -ano | findstr :PORT
  • Kill the process: kill -9 PID or taskkill /PID PID /F
  • Alternative: Use a different port number
  • Prevention: Always check port availability before starting services

CORS Issues

Cross-origin resource sharing problems:

  • Backend: Configure CORS headers properly
  • Frontend: Use proxy in development
  • Browser: Disable CORS for local development (Chrome flags)
  • API: Ensure proper Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers

Database Connection Issues

Common database connectivity problems:

  • Check service: Ensure database service is running
  • Verify credentials: Check username/password in connection string
  • Network: Confirm host and port are accessible
  • Firewall: Ensure database port is not blocked

Build & Deployment Issues

Common build and deployment problems:

  • Dependencies: Clear node_modules and reinstall
  • Cache: Clear build cache and rebuild
  • Environment: Check environment variables
  • Version: Ensure compatible versions of tools

⚡ Performance Optimization Tips

Frontend Optimization

  • Enable code splitting and lazy loading
  • Use CDN for static assets
  • Minify CSS/JS files
  • Optimize image formats and sizes
  • Leverage browser caching

Backend Optimization

  • Use database connection pooling
  • Implement API caching strategies
  • Optimize database queries
  • Use asynchronous processing
  • Monitor memory usage

Development Tools

  • Use hot reload for faster development
  • Enable source maps for debugging
  • Use performance profiling tools
  • Implement automated testing
  • Monitor build times

Database Optimization

  • Create proper indexes
  • Optimize query patterns
  • Use connection pooling
  • Implement caching layers
  • Regular database maintenance
💡 Quick Tip: If you frequently mistype "localhost", consider adding "locallhost.dev" to your hosts file to redirect to 127.0.0.1, or use browser bookmarks for your common development URLs.

Quick Commands

Find what's using a port:
lsof -i :PORT (Mac/Linux)
netstat -ano | findstr :PORT (Windows)
Kill a process by PID:
kill -9 PID (Mac/Linux)
taskkill /PID PID /F (Windows)
Check if port is open:
telnet localhost PORT
nc -zv localhost PORT (Mac/Linux)
Start simple HTTP server:
python -m http.server PORT
npx http-server -p PORT
