SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This scaffolding recipe provides a cohesive, production-ready foundation for building API services using Bun, Elysia, BetterAuth, and Drizzle with PostgreSQL, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent security, typing, and architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrated stack: Bun runtime, Elysia framework, BetterAuth for authentication, Drizzle ORM, and PostgreSQL with a clear migration path.
  • Structured architecture: Six-layer design (Database, Auth, Session, Guards, Routes, App Entry) with cross-cutting concerns like error handling and event bus.
  • Type-safe development: TypeScript-first configuration, Path aliases, and a typed API client integration.

Quick Start

Follow the steps to install dependencies, bootstrap a Bun + Elysia API project, and run the initial drizzle migrations to start the server.
