OrcantraWhat it is
Orcantra CLI is a powerful command-line tool designed to scaffold production-ready TypeScript projects instantly. It bypasses the tedious setup of linters, formatters, and CI/CD pipelines, giving you a functional, highly-optimized starting point with best practices baked in by default.
Why it exists
We realized our team was spending hours configuring the exact same foundation for every new microservice. Orcantra CLI exists to standardize that process, ensuring every project begins with a secure, scalable, and beautifully structured foundation without human error or decision fatigue.
Our Philosophy
Infrastructure-First
Most starters focus purely on frontend or backend application code. We believe true productivity comes when the infrastructure is solved first.
- Zero-Config Deployments: Out-of-the-box Dockerfiles and GitHub Actions.
- Strict TypeScript: Not just `any`-avoidance, but actual type safety woven into the API boundaries.
- Developer Experience: Pre-configured VS Code settings, formatters, and git hooks.
