I kept repeating the same backend setup for every project.
Creating folders, wiring middleware, setting up services, configuring environment files, structuring APIs… it was always the same work before I could even start building features.
So I decided to automate it.
I built TryAppStack CLI — a developer tool that bootstraps a production-ready Node.js backend instantly.
What it does
• Generate Node.js + MongoDB backend structure
• Clean modular architecture (Controllers, Services, Routes, Middleware, Utils)
• Built-in environment setup
• Easy CLI commands to add new modules
• Production-ready project structure

The goal is simple:
help developers skip repetitive setup and start building real features faster.
I’m actively improving it and planning to add more stacks like:
• Node.js + TypeScript
• PostgreSQL + TypeORM
• React templates
• Electron apps
Would love feedback from other developers 🙌

TryAppStack CLI is a developer tool that automates Node.js backend project scaffolding. It generates a production-ready Node.js + MongoDB backend with a modular architecture including Controllers, Services, Routes, Middleware, and Utils folders, plus built-in environment configuration. The author built it to eliminate repetitive setup work before feature development. Future plans include TypeScript support, PostgreSQL + TypeORM, React templates, and Electron app scaffolding.
