This repository aims to emulate a blog post application. It is imperfect on purpose, we'd like your comments on it !
Please see the exercise as if you joined a team that created this repository, which is now used like this in production. What would you do with it ?
We would advise spending between 60 and 120 minutes on this exercise, and try answering the following questions:
-What good practices do you see that you would reuse on other NestJS projects ?
-What would you refactor in the code to improve its quality ?
-What would you bring to improve the CI/CD (in order to reduce the number of bugs in prod) ?
-What would you do to improve the DevX ?
-What would you do to improve the security of the application ?
-If you had to add a Commenting feature on articles, how would you do it ? (Do not hesitate to write code !)

npm run migrate -- --name "<NAME>"The main branch is protected. A Merge request has to be approved before it is merged into main. It is then automatically deployed with our CI/CD.
We build the image of the application on a registry. From there, a Portainer service receives a notification and deploys the new version of the image.
docker compose upWe use drone for our CI/CD. We have two pipelines, one running at every new commit on a pull_request, and one whenever there is a push on dev or main branch
