An open-source Node.js backend architecture project written in TypeScript that demonstrates building a production-ready blogging platform API similar to Medium. It showcases best practices like separation of concerns, centralized error/response handling, JWT auth, Redis caching, MongoDB via Mongoose, and unit/integration tests with Docker deployment.

Use cases

• learn to build a production-ready node.js backend
• typescript express api architecture example
• boilerplate for nodejs backend with jwt auth
• how to structure a scalable express mongodb project
• example of redis caching in node.js api
• nodejs backend with unit and integration tests
• dockerized express typescript starter
• build a blogging platform backend like medium

When to choose

• starting a new Node.js/TypeScript backend and wanting a proven architecture
• learning production patterns like centralized error handling and feature encapsulation
• needing a reference implementation with JWT auth, MongoDB, Redis, and Docker
• teaching or studying testable backend design in Express

When to avoid

• you need a non-Express stack or a different database like SQL
• you want a minimal starter without educational scaffolding
• your project requires GraphQL or serverless architecture
• you need a maintained production dependency rather than a learning reference
