Backkit - Customizable production-ready Node.js backend scaffolding

Backkit is a customizable CLI for generating production-ready Node.js backends. Unlike traditional scaffolders that lock you into a predefined boilerplate, Backkit lets you choose how your backend is set up — from language and framework to database, ORM/ODM, authentication, and architecture. Configure your stack, and Backkit generates the boilerplate around your choices.
