# cmux Backend
## Core rules
- Default backend TypeScript to Effect under `web/app/api/**`, `web/services/**`, and backend scripts touching providers, databases, auth, rate limits, retries, timeouts, or telemetry.
- Keep Next route handlers thin: parse the request, run one Effect program at the boundary, map typed errors to HTTP responses, treat unexpected defects separately.
- Plain TypeScript is for trivial data shapes, constants, config files, frontend React, and small glue where Effect would add ceremony without improving failure handling.
- Cloud VM backend logic stays in Vercel route handlers and Effect services backed by Postgres. Do not reintroduce Rivet or a raw actor protocol unless a later architecture doc explicitly changes the control plane.
- Postgres is the source of truth for VM lifecycle, active VM limits, idempotency, and usage events.
- Production and staging Cloud VM Postgres use PlanetScale PostgreSQL database `cmux-prod` in organization `cmux`. The runtime reads `DATABASE_URL` with `CMUX_DB_DRIVER=url`; migration jobs use the protected `DATABASE_URL` secret. AWS credentials are not database credentials.
- Run production/staging migrations with `bun run cloud-vm:migrate -- staging` followed by `-- production`; never from Vercel build or route startup. Local dev keeps the `CMUX_PORT`-derived Docker Postgres path from `bun dev`.
- Cloud VM create pricing gates use Stack Auth team payment items when enabled.
