## What it is
A Node.js and TypeScript starter template for building scalable web APIs following Clean Architecture, layered architecture, and Domain-Driven Design principles. It ships with an opinionated but extensible project structure, dependency injection, testing setup, and Docker support.

## Use cases
- start a new node.js api project with clean architecture
- ddd boilerplate for typescript web api
- scaffold a scalable node backend
- learn domain-driven design in nodejs
- template with dependency injection and jest testing
- starting point for layered architecture api

## When to choose
- you want a pre-structured Node/TypeScript API following DDD or Clean Architecture
- you value an opinionated, extensible starting point with DI and testing already configured
- you want to learn how to organize a scalable Node backend

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested production framework rather than a beta-quality template
- you prefer minimal or unopinionated project setups
- you need a stack without Sequelize or the specific architectural patterns used
