The Arrival
Brought in a backend to the family. Welcome, Fastify — the troublesome recruit of the monorepo clan.
Expected obedience. Got rebellion.
It just... wouldn’t start. Refused to behave.
Fix & Result
Turns out it wasn’t Fastify’s fault.
Just needed a gentle but firm slap from ts-node.
No build. No transpile. Just:
npm run dev
# with: "dev": "ts-node index.ts"What I did:
- Set up ts-node for direct TypeScript execution
- Gave it its own tsconfig.json
- Assigned port 8000 because 3000 was already full of attitude
The Outcome:
- Fastify started running
- Behaving. Logging like a real app
- Welcome to the family, backend menace
End of Log.
