## What it is
A curated guide of best practices, tools, and guidelines for backend application development, with code examples in TypeScript and NodeJS. It covers architecture, API security, testing, documentation, databases, logging, monitoring, deployment, and version control practices.

## Use cases
- learn backend development best practices
- find guidelines for securing REST APIs
- improve my NodeJS backend architecture
- checklist for production-ready backend services
- learn API versioning and rate limiting practices
- backend code review checklist
- best practices for logging and monitoring backend apps

## When to choose
- you want a language-agnostic reference of backend practices with TypeScript examples
- you are designing or reviewing a backend service and want a checklist of concerns
- you are learning backend development and want curated guidelines and resources

## When to avoid
- you need runnable production code or a starter template rather than a guide
- you need deep coverage of a single topic like distributed systems or DDD
- you need practices for a specific framework with official documentation
