A starter boilerplate for building Node.js web and API applications using Express.js and TypeScript. It bundles common concerns like routing, JWT/CSRF auth with Passport, MongoDB via Mongoose, in-memory caching, logging, exception handling, Pug views, background queues, and Docker Compose setup.

Use cases

• bootstrap a new express typescript api project
• starter template for node.js web app with mongodb
• express boilerplate with jwt authentication
• dockerized express typescript setup
• learn how to structure an express typescript application
• node.js app with logging and exception handling out of the box

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included Express + TypeScript starting point with auth, database, caching, and logging preconfigured
• you use MongoDB/Mongoose and want a ready-made project structure with Docker Compose
• you want to study a well-organized Express TypeScript codebase

When to avoid

• you prefer minimal scaffolding or a different stack (e.g., NestJS, Fastify, SQL databases)
• you need actively maintained dependencies - some bundled libraries like Kue are deprecated
• you only need a frontend or static site
