Type-Safe Backends with Postgres and RLS

Precision patterns for secure multi-tenant apps.

Design tables around explicit ownership and purpose. Use RLS to enforce tenant isolation with policies that map to real business rules. Generate types from your DB schema and let the compiler guard your APIs. Add migrations that are reversible and test them in CI on masked prod-like data.
The payoff is a backend that refuses to compile or run with unsafe changes. Precision here prevents entire classes of incidents.
