5. Manage Redis for caching, session handling, and pub/sub patterns as part of ongoing system stability and performance.
6. Optimize and update MongoDB queries and schemas as needed, without breaking current data workflows.
7. Handle background jobs and asynchronous tasks using queue managers like Bull, Bee-Queue, or RabbitMQ, ensuring smooth processing and minimal downtime.
8. Collaborate with React Native developers to integrate backend changes with mobile applications when necessary.
9. Participate in regular code reviews, ensuring high code quality and adherence to best practices in a live production environment.
10. Respond to production issues promptly and implement long-term solutions to avoid repeated failures or incidents.
