## What it is
A NestJS boilerplate codebase built on Express, TypeORM, Apollo GraphQL, and MongoDB that demonstrates real-world patterns such as CRUD modules, JWT/refresh-token and OAuth authentication, testing, and production practices. It bundles common integrations like Winston logging, Nodemailer, Cloudinary file uploads, Stripe payments, cron scheduling, and Docker/CI-CD configuration.

## Use cases
- nestjs graphql boilerplate to start a new backend project
- learn best practices for structuring a nestjs typeorm mongodb codebase
- example of jwt access and refresh token authentication in nestjs
- graphql crud api starter with mongodb
- real-world nestjs example with unit and e2e tests
- project template with docker, ci/cd, and production deployment setup

## When to choose
- You want a ready-to-run NestJS + GraphQL + MongoDB starter with auth, CRUD, and common integrations already wired up
- You want to study a full-featured codebase showing NestJS project structure, error handling, code style, testing, and production/security practices
- You need reference patterns for OAuth login, file uploads, cron jobs, email, or payments inside a NestJS app

## When to avoid
- You need a maintained library or framework rather than a demo/boilerplate codebase tied to a specific older NestJS version
- Your stack uses SQL databases or tools other than TypeORM and MongoDB, requiring significant rework of the data layer
- You want a small minimal starter instead of a large example app with many third-party services configured
