I Open-Sourced My Production Backend Architecture — Here's What's Inside
Most "starter templates" give you a hello-world endpoint and wish you luck. When I started building my production app on Cloudflare Workers, I spent weeks figuring out how to structure the codebase so it wouldn't become a mess at 50+ endpoints. I extracted all of that into an open-source template. No AI inference, no business logic — just the infrastructure patterns that took me months to get right.
