Add Makefile for standardized project workflows

[Rajesh-Nagarajan-11]

Current Behavior

• Layer5 projects typically use a Makefile that defines a set of rules and instructions (targets) for building, updating, and running different parts of the project. Each target abstracts the underlying commands and logic, allowing contributors to execute complex workflows using simple commands like make .

• Currently, this project does not include a Makefile, which makes it harder to standardize development and operational workflows.

Desired Behavior

Introduce a Makefile with common targets such as:

• make install→ install dependencies
• make start→ run the development server
• make build → build the project
• make test→ run tests
• make clean → clean build files

Implementation

Example : https://github.com/layer5io/sistent/blob/master/Makefile
