I am going to set up a new project for a scalable business. I have chosen React and Node.js because JavaScript is the base for these tools, and there is no need to learn a new programming language. Also, hiring javascript developers is easy.
I chose PostgreSQL, as it is an opensource and most advanced relational database with broad community support.
I am seeking some advice to set the structure up. Please help me out.
One thing I will advise you to is stick to what you know don't try something new just because it's trending or someone says it's faster and better unless you have the time to learn it. Just find a good folder structure that suits you.
This is what I use and why I use for a full-stack js application - Next.js ( for serverside rendering ) - Eslint and Prettier ( auto code formatting ) - Fastify ( fastest rest API in node )
I know how difficult is to maintain code quality and test coverage as startup, but keep this as a culture/rule to follow, because when things getting bigger, it's more difficult to keep flowing and evolve. More challenges and more technical debts will appear and stagnate the project.
I've heard good things about nestjs, but can't say much about because I've never used it.
