Hono Best Practices (Bun + Drizzle + Better Auth + Stoker + Scalar)

Production patterns for Hono v4+ / Bun / Drizzle / Better Auth / Stoker / hono-openapi + Scalar.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Creating new feature modules (routes, handlers, services, schemas)
• Writing or reviewing Hono route definitions with describeRoute + validator
• Setting up or modifying Better Auth config (social auth, RBAC, hooks)
• Writing tests with Bun test runner (bun:test)
• Using Stoker HTTP status codes and error handlers
• Generating OpenAPI specs or configuring Scalar docs UI
• Deriving Zod schemas from Drizzle tables via drizzle-zod
