## What it is
A small Node.js web server template used to demo GitHub Codespaces, based on the Azure node hello-world sample. It serves simple pages (written in EJS) and is primarily intended as a quickstart example rather than production software.

## Use cases
- try github codespaces quickstart
- demo repo for codespaces onboarding
- simple node.js hello world web server
- template for testing dev containers
- learn how codespaces works with a node project

## When to choose
- you are following GitHub's Codespaces quickstart tutorial
- you need a minimal Node.js repo to test cloud dev environments
- you want a lightweight demo app for workshops

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready web application
- you want a full-featured Node.js starter with tests and CI
- you don't use GitHub Codespaces or dev containers

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, http-server
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: codespaces, demo-template, node-template, github, nodejs
