JavaScript rules the world! With the rise of Node.Js JavaScript can be used outside the browser and has become the language of everything.

This evolution raised different Node.js frameworks to develop server-side JavaScript applications. Express, Hapi or Meteor JS are just some amongst them.

Lately, a new kid arrived on the block. NestJS!

NestJS 🦁

NestJS is a fully-featured open-source NodeJS framework that enables us to create compelling and demanding backend systems. It is currently the fastest raising NodeJS framework written in Typescript.

Nest enables us to write highly testable, scalable, loosely coupled, and easily maintainable applications. To do so, it uses express under the hood. It acts as another layer on top and makes a lot of things easier for us.

Nest brings scalable Node.js servers to a whole new level

Let’s have a more detailed look at some of the reasons that make Nest so great and why you should consider to write your next backend project in NestJS.

Perfect for Angular…
