Bootstraps production-ready backend services with integrated configuration, health checks, and graceful shutdown patterns.

Spine is a specialized backend engineering skill designed to scaffold robust microservices and backend applications from the ground up. It goes beyond simple boilerplate by implementing industry-standard patterns such as structured JSON logging, environment-based configuration validation, comprehensive health checks for dependencies, and graceful shutdown handling. Whether starting a new project or adding a service to a monorepo, Spine ensures your foundation is production-ready with Docker support, database migration setups, and essential development tooling included out of the box.
