Generate core boilerplate: entry points, config handlers, error utilities, and service interfaces
Testing scaffolding: unit and integration templates, fixtures
Documentation & CI: README, CHANGELOG, API docs, ADRs, and CI templates

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a standardized directory structure for a new microservice?▼

Scaffolding a microservice generates a standardized directory structure with `/src`, `/tests/unit`, `/tests/integration`, `/docs`, and `/config` directories, plus boilerplate entry points, config handlers, and error utilities tailored to your project's language and repository conventions.

What boilerplate does a service scaffold include for testing?▼

Service scaffolding creates testing boilerplate for both unit and integration tests, including fixture templates and structured test directories that establish consistent testing patterns across your microservices.

Can I scaffold CI/CD configuration and documentation templates automatically?▼

Yes, scaffolding generates CI/CD templates, README files, CHANGELOG stubs, API documentation, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to ensure new services meet repository standards and documentation requirements from creation.

How does scaffolding ensure consistency across multiple microservices?▼

Scaffolding enforces consistent repository standards, directory layouts, boilerplate patterns, and configuration across new services by analyzing your existing project structure and language to apply standardized templates automatically.

What dependency management and linting setup does a scaffold provide?▼

Scaffolding includes language-specific dependency configurations and linter setup, establishing consistent code formatting and package management conventions across your microservices from the start.
