What is the Teapot Enterprise Brewing Platform?

A NestJS app enforcing RFC 2324—returns HTTP 418 for all brew requests, with fake enterprise UI.

Why HTTP 418 I'm a teapot?

April Fools' RFC 2324 joke from 1998; this project celebrates it with overkill engineering.

npm install, npm run start:dev, visit localhost:4180/docs for Swagger.

Imagine deploying a full-stack SaaS that refuses to work—by design. The Teapot Enterprise Brewing Platform nails the absurdity of modern dev life.
