## What it is
A large, community-maintained curated list of Node.js best practices covering architecture, error handling, testing, security, and production readiness. It aggregates top-ranked Node.js articles and original content into over 100 actionable guidelines with code examples.

## Use cases
- learn node.js best practices
- review my nodejs project structure
- node.js production deployment checklist
- express api error handling guidelines
- nodejs security best practices
- how to structure a large node.js codebase
- nodejs testing recommendations

## When to choose
- you want a comprehensive, battle-tested reference for Node.js conventions
- you are onboarding a team to Node.js and need shared standards
- you are auditing an existing Node.js app for production readiness

## When to avoid
- you need runnable code or a framework rather than guidelines
- you need practices for a non-JavaScript backend stack
- you want a formal specification rather than opinionated advice

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend, web-development, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: best-practices, style-guide, nodejs, express, curated-list, architecture, testing
