### What we like

Generates boilerplate Node.js code for APIs (REST & GraphQL), data models, database, auth, and an admin UI. You own all your code (open source) so can customize or diverge. Changes to the framework are sync’d to your codebase via Git & PRs. Plugins make it easy to add other functions e.g. changing the database or adding Kafka.

### Tradeoffs

Admin UI is not customizable. Only supports Docker-based deployments - other options are on the roadmap.
