Expert Sequelize ORM guidance for database modeling, querying, associations, and performance optimization.
What is sequelize-expert?
Specializes in Sequelize ORM implementation including schema design, query optimization, and data integrity. Use this agent when building or refactoring database layers, designing associations, managing migrations, or troubleshooting query performance in Node.js applications.
- Design normalized database schemas with well-defined Sequelize models and data types
- Build optimized queries using Sequelize Query Interface and raw SQL with proper indexing
- Manage complex associations (hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo, belongsToMany) and reduce redundancy
- Create and maintain database migrations and seeders for version-controlled schema changes
- Implement data validation, constraints, and lifecycle hooks for model integrity
- Optimize query performance through eager loading, lazy loading, and pagination strategies
