Introduction to Clean Stack
Clean Stack is a TypeScript-first development platform designed to help teams build production-ready microservices with confidence. By combining battle-tested patterns with developer-friendly conventions, it eliminates common technical hurdles while maintaining flexibility for diverse business needs.
Our Vision
We believe that modern software development shouldn't be bogged down by:
- Complex infrastructure setup
- Inconsistent architectural patterns
- Poor observability and debugging
- Repetitive boilerplate code
Clean Stack solves these challenges through a carefully curated set of tools and practices.
