Our Journey

How Servest Started

Working on backend projects often meant repeating the same boring tasks over and over:

Setting up folders and files
Configuring ESLint and Prettier
Installing TypeScript and other dependencies
Copying code from old projects

It was slow, tedious, and error-prone. We wanted a faster, easier way.

Inspired by tools like create-vite for instant project setup, and shadcn/ui for ready-to-use components, we asked:

Why not build something similar for backend development?

And so, Servest was born — a simple tool to create backend servers in the fastest and easiest way possible. That’s why we named it Servest: Serve + Easiest.

Our Goal

Servest aims to save developers time and frustration by:

Providing ready-to-use templates for backend projects
Offering an easy addon system to extend projects with features like eslint-prettier setup, database integration, and more
Making project setup consistent, reliable, and fast

The Vision

We want Servest to become the go-to tool for backend and full-stack developers. In the future, it will:

Support multiple popular runtimes and frameworks
Offer official and community addons for almost every common backend task
Make starting a backend project as easy as running one command

With Servest, backend development should feel smooth, simple, and enjoyable — just like modern frontend tooling.
