## What it is
A demo blog application built with Node.js, Express, and Mongoose that illustrates everyday web development features and best practices for beginners. It comes with a companion boilerplate repo for starting new projects from scratch.

## Use cases
- learn express and mongoose by example
- starter template for node express mongodb app
- see best practices for structuring an express app
- learn user authentication with passport
- dockerized node.js development setup example
- build a blog with articles and comments

## When to choose
- you are a beginner learning Node.js, Express, and MongoDB together
- you want a reference implementation of common web app patterns like auth, CRUD, and comments
- you want a boilerplate to scaffold a new Express/Mongoose project

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework rather than a learning demo
- your stack is not Node.js/Express/MongoDB
- you need advanced features like GraphQL, microservices, or serverless out of the box
