Summary

In this chapter, you have created a complete Fastify project scaffolding that will be the base structure for your following projects. You can now start a new Fastify application from scratch. You can also control all the configurations your code base needs, regardless of where they are stored.

We have looked at some of the most used and useful Fastify plugins to enhance the project structure and ergonomics. You now know how to use and customize them and that there are infinite combinations.

The solid and clean structure we have built so far will evolve throughout the course of the book. Before investing more time in the structure, we need to understand the application business logic. So, get ready for the next chapter, where we will discuss how to build a RESTful API.
