• Customizable Authentication: Implement JWT or ApiKey authentication with fully customizable entities stored in your database, all configured per endpoint.

• Automated Testing: Conduct unit and integration tests effortlessly using TestContainers, allowing you to spin up real database and API instances for testing.
