Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
backend-design
Claude learns senior backend reflexes: load awareness, idempotency, security audits, migration safety, and incident-grade observability. Backend counterpart to Frontend Design. Forces a 6-step senior workflow before any server-side code (endpoint, worker, CLI, consumer, cron, integration). Adds disciplines for data modeling, migrations, queries, idempotency, error handling, observability, performance, security, auth, debugging, and testing.
