The usual options haven’t felt great to me:
* Copy something from an old project and hope the mistakes don’t come along with it * Piece things together from blog posts that may or may not still be relevant * Install another dependency and inherit its upgrade path forever
So I built Sinew.
It’s a registry of infrastructure patterns—not a framework, not a library. Just curated, tested code you copy directly into your project. You own it, you can read it end-to-end, and you can change it without fighting an abstraction.
There are 30+ patterns across areas like database setup, auth, caching, payments, monitoring, testing, and deployment.

CLI: npm install -g sinew
This is mostly for people who like understanding their infrastructure instead of outsourcing it to packages.
