## What it is
Staart API is a Node.js/TypeScript SaaS backend starter built on NestJS, providing user management, authentication, billing via Stripe, organizations, API keys, rate limiting, and GDPR tools out of the box. It is designed to be forked or templated as the starting point for a SaaS product's backend.

## Use cases
- build a saas backend with authentication and billing
- nestjs starter kit for saas startups
- user management and organizations api
- stripe subscription billing backend
- gdpr-compliant user data tools
- api key authentication and rate limiting
- admin impersonation for support teams

## When to choose
- starting a new SaaS product backend from scratch
- you want auth, billing, and organizations pre-built on NestJS
- you prefer a forkable TypeScript starter over assembling libraries yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with recent releases and active support
- you want to add SaaS features to an existing codebase rather than adopt a full starter
- you don't use Node.js, TypeScript, or NestJS
