Introduction
Nest (NestJS) is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications. It
uses progressive JavaScript, is built with and fully supports TypeScript (yet still enables developers
to code in pure JavaScript) and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP
(Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).
Under the hood, Nest makes use of robust HTTP Server frameworks like Express (the default) and
optionally can be configured to use Fastify as well!
Nest provides a level of abstraction above these common Node.js frameworks (Express/Fastify), but
also exposes their APIs directly to the developer. This gives developers the freedom to use the
myriad of third-party modules which are available for the underlying platform
