We start a lot of new software projects at Mesh. Whether we are kicking off a new project for a customer, or prototyping a new internal product, we need our engineers to get productive as quickly as possible.

Avoiding Configuration Hell

Modern applications unfortunately require a serious amount of configuration and setup before developers can actually start writing feature code. In an effort to speed up this process, we developed internal boilerplate projects for several languages and development platforms.

Today, we are open sourcing two of those projects:

https://github.com/meshhq/node-typescript-boilerplate

and

https://github.com/meshhq/react-redux-boilerplate

Time to feature development

The goal of our boilerplate projects is simple:

To provide developers with a pre-configured, standardized application starting point that allows them to start writing feature code immediately.

Time and speed are paramount to our consulting customers. The quicker that we can show meaningful progress, the better. So we always want to optimize the time it takes our developers to start writing feature code.

Contributions Welcome

These projects have proven to be super useful for us internally so we hope other folks will make use of them as well.

We would also love to get feedback from the broader development community on how we can tweak and/or improved these projects. As always, we welcome pull requests.
