What is the Teapot Enterprise Brewing Platform?

It's a NestJS app that always returns HTTP 418 'I'm a teapot,' mocking RFC 2324 with enterprise polish—no actual brewing.

Does the Teapot API actually work?

Nope—by design. Sliders do nothing; it's a scalable failure machine with Swagger docs and throttling.

Why build a useless teapot service?

April Fools' fun, teaches NestJS, rate-limiting, and parodies corporate over-engineering while honoring a 1998 HTTP joke.
