Node.js Starter Template
**A production-grade REST API boilerplate built the way senior engineers actually build things.**
TypeScript · Express · PostgreSQL · Prisma · JWT · Zod · Vitest · Docker

Why this template?
Most Node.js starters are either too minimal (a bare Express setup) or too opinionated (a full framework). This one sits in the sweet spot — it's what you'd build on day one at a serious company.
Every decision here has a reason:
- TypeScript strict mode — catch bugs at compile time, not in production
- Zod for everything — env validation, request validation, same tool, same mental model
- Feature-module architecture — files live next to what they belong to, scales without restructuring
- Repository pattern — DB queries are isolated, controllers never touch Prisma directly
- JWT rotation — refresh tokens are stored, rotated on use, and revocable
- Zero-debt error handling — one error class, one error catalog, one handler
- Agent-ready — `AGENTS.md` documents the module pattern and conventions so Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc. generate code that fits the codebase instead of fighting it
Stack
| Concern | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Language | TypeScript 5 (strict) | Type safety end-to-end |
| Framework | Express 4 | Stable, well-understood, minimal magic |
| Database | PostgreSQL + Prisma | Type-safe queries, great migration story |
| Auth | JWT |
