DVT New Service Scaffold

Stand up a new DVT backend service that matches the house architecture on day one.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create a brand-new backend service or microservice.
  • Bring an existing prototype up to the DVT baseline.

Standard layout

src/
  api/          # transport layer (HTTP/gRPC handlers) — thin
  domain/       # business logic, no framework imports
  infra/        # db, queues, external clients
  config/       # typed config loaded from env
test/

Steps

  1. Create the layout above; keep domain/ free of framework/transport imports.
  2. Add a /healthz (liveness) and /readyz (readiness) endpoint.
  3. Wire structured JSON logging with a request/correlation id on every log line.
  4. Load config from environment via a typed config module — never read process.env directly in business code.
  5. Add the standard CI pipeline (lint → test → build → container scan).
