  • Inspect current repository state and check existing CI/workflow runs
  • Confirm baseline lint/build/test commands available before changes
  • Scaffold root Turborepo + pnpm workspace configuration files
  • Scaffold packages/db with Prisma package setup and MVP schema (Rainbow Six Siege-ready)
  • Scaffold apps/web with baseline Next.js TypeScript configuration
  • Scaffold apps/api with baseline Express + TypeScript entrypoint and configs
  • Validate repository structure and run targeted checks available in repo
  • Capture a screenshot showing the resulting scaffolded repository tree
Original prompt

Please scaffold a full-stack monorepo for our esports application "MatchPoint" using Turborepo and pnpm. The MVP is focused on Rainbow Six Siege.

Please create the following foundational files and folder structure:

  1. Root Configuration:
  • package.json (setup for pnpm workspaces targeting apps/* and packages/*)
  • turbo.json (pipeline for build, lint, dev)
  • docker-compose.yml (PostgreSQL 15 and Redis 7 services)
  • .prettierrc and .gitignore
  1. Database Package (packages/db):
  • package.json
  • prisma/schema.prisma containing the models for User, Follows, Post, Clip, Match, Team, Game, Comment, Like (as discussed, for a social media and live match tracking app).
  1. Frontend App (apps/web):
  • A basic Next.js setup (package.json, tsconfig.json, next.config.js).
  1. Backend App (apps/api):
  • A basic Express + TypeScript setup (package.json, tsconfig.json, src/index.ts).

Make sure the setup uses industry best practices for a scalable TypeScript monorepo.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: We are building a full-stack esports-focused social media platform and want help scaffolding the repository architecture, backend structure, database schema, and development environment setup.

Tech Stack:
Frontend:

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • TailwindCSS

Backend:

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • TypeScript

Database:

  • PostgreSQL

Caching / Real-Time:

  • Redis
  • WebSockets (Socket.IO preferred)

Project Goals:
This platform is focused on esports communities and live esports engagement.

Our MVP (minimum viable product) should support:

  1. Live Esports Match Tracking
  • Live match pages
  • Real-time score/status updates
  • Live discussion/chat per match
  • Match metadata (teams, game, tournament, start time, status)
  1. Social Media Posts
  • Twitter/Reddit style posts
  • Likes
  • Comments/replies
  • Reposts/shares
  • Infinite scrolling feed
  1. Clips Feature
  • Short-form gaming clips similar to Instagram Reels/TikTok
  • Video uploads
  • Likes/comments
  • Scrollable clips feed
  1. User Profiles
  • Username/display name
  • Bio
  • Favorite games
  • Favorite teams
  • Profile picture/banner
  • Followers/following

Requirements:

  1. Help generate a scalable monorepo folder structure for frontend + backend.
  2. Use clean architecture and industry best practices.
  3. Configure TypeScript properly for both frontend and backend.
  4. Suggest useful libraries and tooling.
  5. Help initialize:
    • ESLint
    • Prettier
    • Husky
    • Docker
    • environment variables
    • GitHub Actions CI/CD
  6. Design the PostgreSQL schema for the MVP.
  7. Include proper relationships and normalization.
  8. Generate SQL tables or Prisma schema.
  9. Include Redis usage suggestions for:
    • caching feeds
    • live match updates
    • websocket sessions
  10. Include API route structure examples for Express.
  11. Include authentication architecture recommendations (JWT + refresh tokens preferred).
  12. Include recommendations for handling media uploads for clips.
  13. Suggest scalable real-time architecture for live match discussions.
  14. Recommend a good state management solution for Next.js.
  15. Recommend deployment architecture for both development and production.

Please provide:

  • Recommended repository structure
  • Initial database schema
  • Core backend architecture
  • Suggested dependencies
  • Docker compose setup idea
  • Recommended development workflow
  • Recommended Git branching strategy
  • Initial roadmap for development

Focus on scalability, maintainability, and resume-quality engineering practices.

Assistant: Here is a comprehensive architecture and scaffolding plan for MatchPoint, designed for high scalability, maintainability, and resume-quality engineering.

1. Repository Structure (Monorepo)

For a TypeScript-heavy full-stack app, Turborepo with pnpm workspaces is the industry standard. It shares types seamlessly and caches builds.

matchpoint/
├── apps/
│   ├── web/                # Next.js Frontend (React, Tailwind)
│   └── api/                # Node.js/Express Backend
├── packages/
│   ├── db/                 # Prisma schema, migrations, and generated client
│   ├── shared/             # Shared TypeScript interfaces, schemas (Zod), and utils
│   ├── eslint-config/      # Shared ESLint rules
│   └── typescript-config/  # Shared tsconfig.json bases
├── docker-compose.yml      # Local dev infrastructure (Postgres, Redis)
├── .github/
│   └── workflows/          # CI/CD pipelines
├── .husky/                 # Pre-commit hooks
├── package.json            # Root workspace config
└── turbo.json              # Turborepo build pipeline config

2. Database Schema (Prisma)

Prisma is highly recommended here because it generates fully typed database clients which you can export from the packages/db package to both web and api.

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
