Boilerplate information

This is a simple Typescript boilerplate for your task. To run the development server, simply use npm run dev. The only source file - src/index.ts serves as the entrypoint and contains examples of how to connect to the database, do http requests, or set up a http server. We recommend certain libraries which we describe in the source code, but you can use whatever you want.

We recommend running postgres in Docker. Just use docker compose up to spin up the database container defined in docker-compose.yml.
