A RealWorld-spec example backend API implementing a Medium.com clone with NestJS, available in TypeORM (master) and Prisma (prisma branch) variants backed by MySQL. It demonstrates CRUD, JWT authentication, and advanced NestJS patterns as a reference codebase.

Use cases

• learn how to structure a real NestJS backend
• see a Medium clone API built with NestJS and TypeORM
• compare TypeORM vs Prisma in the same application
• reference implementation of the RealWorld API spec
• study JWT auth and CRUD patterns in NestJS
• bootstrap a NestJS + MySQL project from a working example

When to choose

• you want a spec-compliant, non-trivial NestJS example beyond a todo app
• you're evaluating TypeORM or Prisma with NestJS on MySQL
• you need a reference for NestJS project structure, auth, and testing with Jest

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready starter with a maintained license
• you use a database other than MySQL
• you want a frontend or fullstack example rather than a backend API
