It's not a framework, it's a boilerplate with an architecture focused on scalability, not just the old controllers/models/services folders. It comes ready to be used on production, to write tests and to use a SQL database. Check the repo wiki (
https://github.com/talyssonoc/node-api-boilerplate/wiki) as well to more details about the architecture, configuration and features.
The documentation is still in the first version so feel free to ask and suggest changes.
