In this video, we take an important step toward building a production-grade backend by setting up a clean and scalable folder structure using the MVC pattern. A well-designed structure is the backbone of any professional Node.js application, and in this session, we break it down in a simple and practical way.
You’ll learn how to organize your project into clear layers — config, controllers, services, models, routers, middleware, and more — so your code stays readable, scalable, and easy to maintain as the project grows.
We’ll cover:
✅ What the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern really means
✅ Setting up the src folder and core backend layout
✅ Creating config, constants, and model layers
✅ Organizing controllers, routes, services, and middleware
✅ Setting up app.ts and server.ts the right way
✅ Adding environment files, .gitignore, and essential housekeeping
✅ Final production-ready folder structure overview
By the end of this video, you’ll have a clean, professional project structure that is easy to scale, easy to navigate, and built for real-world backend development — setting the stage for upcoming videos on TypeScript, error handling, and advanced tooling.
