+# Data Access Layer
+
+Simple pattern for organizing database queries. Keep your Elysia endpoints clean by putting all database logic in dedicated files.
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+src/shared/data-access/
+├── posts.ts          # Post-related queries
+├── comments.ts       # Comment-related queries
+└── index.ts          # Export all functions
+```
+
+## Pattern
+
+Each file contains simple functions that interact with the database:
+
+```typescript
+// src/shared/data-access/posts.ts
+import "server-only";
+import { eq } from "drizzle-orm";
+import { db } from "../db/client";
+import { post } from "../db/schema";
+
+export async function getPostById(id: string) {
+  const [result] = await db
+    .select()
+    .from(post)
+    .where(eq(post.id, id))
+    .limit(1);
+  return result ?? null;
+}
+
+export async function getAllPosts() {
+  return db.select().from(post);
+}
+
+export async function createPost(data: { title: string; content: string }) {
+  const [newPost] = await db
+    .insert(post)
+    .values({
+      id: crypto.randomUUID(),
+      ...data,
+    })
+    .returning();
+  return newPost;
+}
+```
+
+## Usage in Elysia Endpoints
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/[[...slugs]]/route.ts
+import { Elysia } from "elysia";
+import { getPostById, getAllPosts, createPost } from "@/shared/data-access";
+
+export const app = new Elysia({ prefix: "/api" })
+  .get("/posts", async () => {
+    const posts = await getAllPosts();
+    return posts;
+  })
+  .get("/posts/:id", async ({ params }) => {
+    const post = await getPostById(params.id);
+    if (!post) {
+      throw new Error("Post not found");
+    }
+    return post;
+  })
+  .post("/posts", async ({ body }) => {
+    const post = await createPost(body);
+    return post;
+  });
+```
+
+## Why This Pattern?
+
+1. **Separation of concerns**: Database logic separate from API logic
+2. **Reusable**: Use the same functions in Server Components, API routes, server actions
+3. **Easy to test**: Mock these functions in tests
+4. **Easy to migrate**: If you switch ORMs, just update these files
+5. **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript support
+
+## Example: Adding a New Entity
+
+1. **Create the schema**:
+
+```typescript
+// src/shared/db/schema/posts.ts
+import { pgTable, text, timestamp } from "drizzle-orm/pg-core";
+
+export const post = pgTable("post", {
+  id: text("id").primaryKey(),
+  title: text("title").notNull(),
+  content: text("content").notNull(),
+  createdAt: timestamp("created_at").defaultNow().notNull(),
+  updatedAt: timestamp("updated_at")
+    .defaultNow()
+    .$onUpdate(() => new Date())
+    .notNull(),
+});
+```
+
+2. **Create data access functions**:
+
+```typescript
+// src/shared/data-access/posts.ts
+import "server-only";
+import { db } from "../db/client";
+import { post } from "../db/schema";
+import { eq } from "drizzle-orm";
+
+export async function getPostById(id: string) {
+  const [result] = await db.select().from(post).where(eq(post.id, id)).limit(1);
+  return result ?? null;
+}
+
+export async function getAllPosts() {
+  return db.select().from(post);
+}
+
+export async function createPost(data: { title: string; content: string }) {
+  const [newPost] = await db
+    .insert(post)
+    .values({
+      id: crypto.randomUUID(),
+      ...data,
+    })
+    .returning();
+  return newPost;
+}
+
+export async function updatePost(
+  id: string,
+  data: { title?: string; content?: string },
+) {
+  const [updated] = await db
+    .update(post)
+    .set(data)
+    .where(eq(post.id, id))
+    .returning();
+  return updated ?? null;
+}
+
+export async function deletePost(id: string) {
+  await db.delete(post).where(eq(post.id, id));
+}
+```
+
+3. **Export from index**:
+
+```typescript
+// src/shared/data-access/index.ts
+export * from "./posts";
+```
+
+4. **Use in your API**:
+
+```typescript
+import { getAllPosts, createPost } from "@/shared/data-access";
+
+const app = new Elysia()
+  .get("/posts", () => getAllPosts())
+  .post("/posts", ({ body }) => createPost(body));
+```
+
+That's it! Simple, clean, and easy to understand.
