NestJS Prisma Postgresql Starter Kit

🚀 A quick and comprehensive nestjs starter kit powered by Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Swagger, perfect for backend rookies to rapidly construct a robust backend server.

I'm looking forward to a great nestjs starter kit or template which can help me quickly figure out how to build a real world backend server, then I found this blog: https://www.prisma.io/blog/nestjs-prisma-rest-api-7D056s1BmOL0, and implement it.

It's a good starter kit for backend rookies like me, to combine db like postgresql, ORM like prisma, Api doc like swagger together, also with many concepts in backend like dto, entity and so on.
