A starter template for building fully documented, type-safe JSON APIs using Hono, Zod OpenAPI, Drizzle ORM, and Scalar API docs. It bundles structured logging, environment validation, testing, and linting into a ready-to-clone project scaffold.

Use cases

• bootstrap a type-safe REST API with Hono
• generate OpenAPI documentation from Zod schemas
• set up a Hono project with Drizzle ORM and SQLite
• scaffold an API with interactive Scalar docs
• start a TypeScript backend with structured logging and testing preconfigured
• build documented JSON APIs with validation
• create a Cloudflare-deployable Hono API template

When to choose

• starting a new Hono-based API from scratch
• you want OpenAPI docs generated from type-safe route definitions
• you prefer Drizzle ORM with a single source of truth for schemas
• you want batteries-included logging, env validation, and testing setup

When to avoid

• you need a full production application rather than a starting point
• you use a different web framework like Express or Fastify
• you need a database other than SQLite without modifications
• you want a framework with runtime plugin systems rather than a copy-paste template
