🛠️ Node.js + PostgreSQL Auth Starter with Docker — Production-grade Boilerplate

I've just open-sourced a clean, production-ready Node.js starter project with:

• 🔐 JWT-based Auth (Register, Login, Password Reset)
• 🐘 PostgreSQL with schema migrations
• 🐳 Dockerized for dev & prod
• 💌 Email Integration (reset password flow)
• 🧪 Zod Validation
• 📜 Pino Logging
• 🛡️ Helmet, CORS, Error handling

---

🚀 Why I built this

Every time I spun up a new backend, I’d end up rebuilding the same auth logic, boilerplate, and config. This project gives me a solid base to build on — modular, secure, and ready for deployment.
