Project Layout
This project provides a standardized directory layout pattern that establishes a predictable structure for organizing source code, configuration files, and documentation. It serves as a community-driven framework designed to improve project maintainability, simplify developer onboarding, and ensure consistency across large-scale software development efforts.
By enforcing uniform file layouts, the project reduces cognitive load for developers working across multiple services or microservices. It utilizes convention-based folder templates to ensure that application logic, infrastructure, and configuration files are isolated into distinct, predictable locations. This approach facilitates modular growth and clarifies ownership of internal packages and external dependencies.
The framework supports scalable codebase organization by directing build artifacts into dedicated directories and aligning project structures with established ecosystem best practices. These conventions ensure compatibility with standard tooling and build processes throughout the entire development lifecycle.
