A Node.js API boilerplate using Express.js, Sequelize ORM, and JWT for secure user authentication. Designed for rapid development, it provides a modular structure for easy customization, enhanced security features including rate limiting and CORS configuration, and is perfect for building scalable and secure APIs.

This backend is designed to work seamlessly with the NextJS Frontend Starter Kit.

Note: The "Task" model provided is just an example to showcase how to manage CRUD resources and can be replaced with any model that suits your application's needs.
