## What it is
Deployd is a Node.js toolkit for building realtime REST APIs for web and mobile apps using configurable Resources like Collections, managed through a web dashboard and customizable with JavaScript event scripts. It bundles a browser client library (dpd.js), user/session authentication, and WebSocket-based realtime notifications backed by MongoDB.

## Use cases
- build a realtime REST API without boilerplate
- prototype a mobile app backend quickly
- expose database collections over HTTP and websockets
- add user authentication and session management to an API
- notify browser clients of database changes in realtime
- manage API resources through a web dashboard

## When to choose
- you want a zero-boilerplate backend for rapid prototyping on Node.js and MongoDB
- you need realtime client sync plus REST CRUD with minimal setup
- you want a dashboard-driven, resource-based API builder

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with security patches
- you require built-in access control - deployd has none by default
- you're starting a new production project - it's no longer maintained and last released in 2019
