I have put together this checklist, which I believe will be applicable to most backend code... Tagged with programming, backend, softwareengineering, productivity.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

A checklist for backend code reviews covering code style, maintainability, requirements, API design, documentation, error handling, security, dependencies, logging, testing, performance, version control, and spelling.

Backend Code Review Checklist

This is a D.O.D. ( Definition of Done )… good template to use for all Lead Engineers. Just turn it into a check list as part of the PR.

thanks for sharing, spelling mistakes are always in my API. 😅

Thanks for sharing this post it’s relly good!

This is a solid checklist template that can (and arguably should) serve as a baseline for server/backend code reviews. Love that the author threw this into a quick article - I’ll be using this moving forward as a good starting point for a codebase checklist.
