Nuxt Server

This is your reference for building server-side features in Nuxt 4 with Nitro. It covers the file-based routing system for API endpoints, all the request/response utilities you'll actually use (getRouterParam, readBody, setCookie), and patterns for integrating databases like Cloudflare D1 with Drizzle ORM. The middleware examples show how to handle auth across routes, and there are practical snippets for CRUD operations and error handling. Load the database patterns reference when you're setting up migrations or complex queries, and the WebSocket reference if you need real-time features. It's comprehensive without being overwhelming, just the patterns you need to ship backend logic quickly.
