Foundations of a Frontend Platform - Boilerplate code

Every Frontend Framework these days has its own way of providing a quick start for projects: scripts that generate some boilerplate code to get you started on the right foot, implementing best practices.

But for your organization specifically, you may have different needs for every project to start, every component or service to create, or whatever it is you are building. You have your own ideal, curated set of libraries you want people to use on which you perform Lifecycle Management. You have your own Architectural guidelines. You may need to register new applications in your Software Catalog or something similar that you need to automate when setting up a new project.

In other words, in order to get your developers quick start the right way, you want to offer them your own boilerplate code that adheres to your standards. This speeds up development, reduces their cognitive load and can greatly enhance the Developer Experience (DX)
