Containerized Nestjs starter kit with postgres for local dev and production

Description

This starter kit is heavily inspired by this blog post from Log Rocket. Feel free to create PRs and make this starter kit even better!

Features

• Nestjs as back-end
• Postgres as the database
• Multi-stage docker file for local development and production deployment
• Node.js debugger exposed to the development version. You can use VS Code, Webstorm, Chrome or IDE of your choice to connect to the debugger and set breakpoints during dev.
• Ready to be run in AWS Fargate and be built using AWS Codebuild.

Running the code

Clone the repo, ensure you have Docker installed and running. Go to the project directory and
docker-compose up

• There is health check endpoint that returns HTTP 200 and a "Success" message running on http://192.168.0.1:8081
• There is also a nodejs debugger attached to port 9229.
• The codebase is ready for hot reloading as you make changes to the codebase since docker volumes are being used

If you are getting errors about database not existing you can either write a nestjs migration for it or simply create the table needed in the postgres database.
