Boonoob pairs a React web app with NestJS services. The Buzzable backend is where it gets interesting: OpenAI integrated directly into the service layer, with MongoDB behind it and Docker around it.
This was early hands-on experience with the operational side of LLMs in production — cost, latency, prompt versioning and what to do when the model returns something unusable.
Highlights
- OpenAI integrated into NestJS services
- MongoDB persistence, Dockerised deployment
- Early production experience with LLM cost and failure handling
