Welcome to the Documentation

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to the Nodejs Advanced Starter Template (Node.js Enterprise Launchpad). This template offers a $0 Cost storage solution with $20 in credit for Deployment. It covers everything from initial setup and core concepts to deployment and advanced features, helping you build, test, and deploy your API with confidence.

🚀 Overview

This template is a feature-rich foundation for building scalable and maintainable Node.js applications. It integrates best-in-class tools for authentication, database management, background jobs, and more, allowing you to focus on your business logic instead of boilerplate code.

For my Udemy Students You learned the concepts in the course. This template is the tool used in the real world. It includes the advanced architectural patterns (Service Layer, DTOs, Centralized Error Handling) that take too long to code manually for every project.

🚀 Why Use This Template?

You could spend the next 20 hours setting up ESLint, configuring Winston logging, writing generic CRUD services, and fighting with Docker configurations... or you could run one command and start coding your business logic immediately.

What's Included?

This isn't just a folder structure; it's a complete ecosystem.
