PrintPals is powered by a modern TypeScript backend stack:
- Monorepo tool: pnpm workspaces
- Runtime: Node.js 24
- Package manager: pnpm
- Language: TypeScript 5.9
- API framework: Express 5
- Database: PostgreSQL
- ORM: Drizzle ORM
- Validation: Zod (
zod/v4) +drizzle-zod - API codegen: Orval from OpenAPI specs
- Build: esbuild (CommonJS bundle)
The project uses a monorepo structure to keep services, packages, shared types, and tooling organized.
This architecture helps PrintPals:
- share types safely across packages
- keep API contracts consistent
- validate data with confidence
- evolve backend services cleanly
- support long-term product growth
Make sure you have the following installed:
- Node.js 24
- pnpm
- PostgreSQL

PrintPals uses PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM for type-safe schema management and database access.
Typical workflow:
pnpm db:generate
pnpm db:migrateIf your project uses different scripts, update this section accordingly.
The backend is designed for maintainability and strong contract alignment:
- Express 5 powers the API layer
- Zod validates request and response payloads
- drizzle-zod bridges schema validation with the database model
- Orval generates typed API clients from OpenAPI specifications
This combination improves reliability, developer experience, and long-term maintainability.
SVG is ideal for printable educational content because it provides:
- crisp rendering at any scale
- lightweight output
- reliable print quality
- flexible generation for worksheet-style assets
PrintPals is designed for:
- teachers preparing classroom worksheets
- parents supporting home learning
- kids practicing letters, numbers, and shapes
- educators looking for quick printable resources
- teams building modern education-focused printable products
Potential future improvements include:
- richer worksheet libraries
