jestech-api — Shared Backend Framework

A thin, opinionated backend framework that provides the common foundation every Jestech API service needs. Built on FastAPI (Python) or Express (TypeScript) with batteries included: **Included out of the box:** - Health check endpoints (`/health`, `/ready`) - Structured JSON logging with request IDs - Configuration loading from environment variables with validation - CORS middleware with sensible defaults - Error handling with consistent error response format - OpenAPI/Swagger documentation auto-generation - Database connection helpers (PostgreSQL via SQLAlchemy/Prisma) - Redis connection helper - Authentication middleware (API key + JWT) - Rate limiting **Why:** Every API prototype rebuilds the same boilerplate — health checks, config, logging, error handling. This framework eliminates that duplication, ensures consistency across all Jestech services, and makes it trivial to spin up a new API that follows best practices. Combined with jestech-cli templates, a new API goes from zero to deployed in minutes. **Distribution:** Published to GitLab package registry, installed as a dependency.
