Here is a professional, production-ready README.md for your NestJS migration project.
You can copy this directly into your repository.
A modular, scalable backend architecture for ChainVerse Academy built with NestJS, following clean architecture principles, role-based authentication, and production-ready standards.
This project is a full backend migration from Express.js to NestJS, designed to improve:
- ✅ Scalability
- ✅ Maintainability
- ✅ Modular structure
- ✅ Role-based authorization
- ✅ Validation & security
- ✅ API documentation
- ✅ Clean architecture
The system supports features such as authentication, course management, certification, gamification, reporting, financial aid, notifications, and more.
- Framework: NestJS
- Language: TypeScript
- Authentication: JWT (Access + Refresh Tokens)
- Validation: class-validator / class-transformer
- ORM: Prisma or TypeORM (configurable)
- Documentation: Swagger
- Database: PostgreSQL (recommended)
- Caching: Redis (optional)
- File Storage: Local or Cloud (S3 compatible)
