Production Ready Backend Setup (Express and Typescript)

Easily scaffold a production-ready backend application using Express (Node.js) and TypeScript. This tool helps you create a boilerplate project with best practices for scalability, maintainability, and security.

Ensure you have the following tools installed in your system:

• Node.js (LTS version recommended)
• MongoDB (Community Edition)
