🚀 Create Enterprise Backend

Create Enterprise Backend is a modern CLI tool to scaffold production-ready backend applications using Express or Fastify with MongoDB or Supabase, following enterprise best practices.

⚡ Zero setup. Secure defaults. Scalable structure.

✨ Features

🏗 Frameworks

• Express
• Fastify

🗄 Databases

• MongoDB (Mongoose)
• Supabase (Postgres + Auth)

🔐 Authentication Ready

• JWT-based auth
• Auth guards & middleware
• Safe handling when DB/env is missing

🧱 Enterprise Architecture

• Modular structure
• Controllers / Services / Routes
• Centralized error handling
• Environment-based config

🛠 Developer Experience

• Nodemon preconfigured
• Clean logging
• Safe defaults (no crash if DB not configured)

📦 Installation & Usage

You don't need to install anything globally.

Create a new backend project

npx create-enterprise-backend my-backend

or inside the current folder:

npx create-enterprise-backend .

🧭 Interactive Setup

The CLI will guide you through:

• Framework selection (Express / Fastify)
• Database selection (MongoDB / Supabase)
• Dependency installation (Install now or later)

📁 Project Structure (Example)

├── app.js
├── server.js
├── routes.js

│   ├── env.js

    └── db-guard.js

▶️ Running the Server

npm run dev

Output example:

⚠️ Supabase public client disabled (missing env vars)
⚠️ Supabase admin client disabled (missing env vars)
🚀 Server running at http://localhost:5000

This is intentional and safe — the app won't crash if env vars are missing.

🔑 Environment Variables

MongoDB

PORT=5000
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp
JWT_SECRET=supersecret

Supabase

PORT=5000
SUPABASE_URL=https://xxxx.supabase.co
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=public-key
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=service-role-key
JWT_SECRET=supersecret

🛡 Database Safety (Enterprise Behavior)

• If DB is not connected, DB-dependent routes are automatically blocked
• The server never crashes due to missing DB or env variables
• Clear warnings are logged instead

🧪 Health Check

GET /health

Response:

{
  "status": "ok"
}

📌 Node Version

• Node.js ≥ 18

🧠 Philosophy

This tool is built for:

• SaaS backends
• Admin dashboards
• APIs at scale
• Teams that care about structure & safety

It's meant to be extended, not locked.

🛣 Roadmap

• PostgreSQL & MySQL templates
• Docker & CI templates
• CLI flags (--yes, --framework, --db)
• Prisma / Drizzle support
• RBAC & multi-tenant auth
