# Database
DB_DSN="database://user:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=&TimeZone="

DB_CONN_LIFETIME=

To initialize new modules, run the following command:

go run scripts/module.go <module name>

To initialize new submodules, run the following command:

go run scripts/submodule.go <module name> <submodule name>

To run the app, execute the following command:
