express
Express

Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.

docker
Docker

A website that uses Docker for containerization to streamline development, testing, and deployment workflows. This includes features such as containerization of dependencies, automated builds and deployments, and container orchestration to ensure scalability and availability.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
