## Description

This project is a production-ready foundation and boilerplate for building backend APIs using TypeScript and Express. It functions as an interactive scaffolder and starter kit that generates structured project directories, providing a base for REST API development.

The toolkit includes a command-line interface for project generation, which uses templates and naming conventions to establish folder organization. It provides curated configurations for the development toolchain, including linters, bundlers, and testing frameworks.

The project covers database and ORM integration through specific driver templates to ensure data persistence. It also generates deployment infrastructure, including configuration files for containers and process managers to facilitate Node.js application deployment.
