## What it is
A NestJS REST API boilerplate providing a production-ready starting point for typical backend projects. It ships with authentication, TypeORM/Mongoose database support for Postgres and MongoDB, mailing, i18n, Swagger docs, Docker setup, and e2e tests.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a NestJS REST API project
- start a Node.js backend with auth and database already wired up
- scaffold a TypeScript API with Postgres or MongoDB
- get a Dockerized NestJS app with CI and e2e tests
- set up a REST API with Swagger docs, mailing, and i18n out of the box

## When to choose
- you're starting a new NestJS backend and want auth, ORM, and DevOps preconfigured
- you want a battle-tested starter with Postgres/MongoDB support and Swagger
- you need a full-stack pairing with its companion React frontend boilerplate

## When to avoid
- you're not using NestJS or Node.js/TypeScript
- you want a minimal codebase without opinionated structure and dependencies
- you need a framework-agnostic or microservice-specific template
