MooseStack is an opinionated starter stack that assembles a modern web application foundation—project structure, build tooling, and deployment scripts—so teams can get from “blank repo” to a working product quickly. It provides a coherent layout for server and client code, standardizes environment configuration, and includes scripts to run the app locally with the same conventions you’ll use in staging or production. The stack favors convention over configuration: common decisions around linting, testing, and packaging are prewired so developers can focus on features rather than wiring. It typically includes helpers for dependency management, task automation, and continuous integration hooks, allowing new contributors to bootstrap a development environment with a single command. Deployment is treated as part of the developer experience, with templates for promoting builds and pushing to cloud infrastructure so releases are predictable.
