When transitioning from an idea to a prototype for backends or libraries, start by defining the problem you're trying to solve and identifying your target audience. Create a high-level design outlining the key components and their interactions. Then, prioritize the most critical features and develop a minimal viable prototype (MVP) to test your assumptions. Iterate on the design based on feedback and performance metrics.
