## What it is
An example Node.js project demonstrating Clean Architecture with Express.js, MongoDB, and Redis as replaceable infrastructure. It implements a simple RESTful CRUD API for users and posts, organized into entities, use cases, interface adapters, and frameworks/drivers layers.

## Use cases
- learn clean architecture in node.js
- example of express rest api with mongodb and redis
- how to structure a node.js project with separation of concerns
- reference implementation of clean architecture crud api
- node.js microservice boilerplate with docker
- understand the dependency rule with a real codebase

## When to choose
- you want a practical, runnable example of Clean Architecture in Node.js
- you are building a REST API with Express and MongoDB and want layered structure guidance
- you need a teaching or reference codebase for dependency inversion in JavaScript

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready framework or library with support and guarantees
- you want a batteries-included starter with authentication, tests, and CI included
- your stack is not JavaScript/Node.js

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: clean-architecture, expressjs, mongodb, redis, rest-api, example-project, crud, microservice, nodejs, docker
