## What it is
A batteries-included Elixir project template from Mirego, built on Phoenix with Ecto, Absinthe GraphQL, Gettext translations, testing, linting, security scanning, and Docker/OTP release setup. It serves as the stable starting base for all of Mirego's Elixir projects and is shared publicly for others to use.

## Use cases
- start a new Elixir Phoenix project with GraphQL API
- bootstrap an Elixir web app with Ecto and Postgres
- set up a Phoenix project with tests, linting, and CI out of the box
- create an Elixir project template with Docker and mix release deployment
- add gettext translations and security scanning to a new Elixir app

## When to choose
- you are starting a production Elixir/Phoenix web application and want opinionated best practices preconfigured
- you want a GraphQL API stack with Absinthe, Dataloader, and security tooling already wired up
- you want CI, code coverage, linting, and security audits included from day one

## When to avoid
- you need a minimal or unopinionated Elixir setup
- you are not using Phoenix or Ecto in your project
- you need a framework or library rather than a starting template to fork
