microsvc-template scaffolds a production-ready Node.js microservice with Docker, AWS deployment scripts, CI/CD pipelines, testing harness, and optional add-ons. The CLI is opinionated but configurable, helping teams spin up consistent services in seconds.

npx microsvc-template

Answer the interactive prompts or pass options up front:

npx microsvc-template \
  --name orders-service \
  --framework express \
  --aws ecs \
  --cicd github \
  --addons postgres,redis \
  --yes

• Interactive CLI with defaults driven by ~/.microsvctemplaterc.json.
• Express or Fastify service skeleton with health check, logging, and graceful shutdown.
• Dockerfile, docker-compose, and environment templates for local development.
• Deployment scripts plus AWS samples for ECS, Lambda, and EC2.
• CI/CD pipelines for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
• Optional add-ons for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and SQS.
• Prewired Jest tests, ESLint, Prettier, and Husky pre-commit hook.
• Support for custom user templates under ~/.microsvc-template/templates/<framework>.

Define preferred answers in ~/.microsvctemplaterc.json:

{
  "defaultFramework": "express",
  "defaultAWS": "ecs",
  "defaultCICD": "github"
}

Override the generated files by providing a template directory:

~/.microsvc-template/
└── templates/
    ├── express/
    │   └── src/
    │       └── server.js
    └── fastify/
        └── README.md

When present, files in the framework-specific template directory are copied over the generated scaffold.

Install dependencies and run the test suite:

npm install
npm test

Lint the project:

npm run lint
