NestJS

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable and scalable server-side applications. It combines elements of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Functional Programming (FP) and Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). NestJS embraces TypeScript and uses Express.js under the hood, but also works with other libraries, providing flexibility for developers.
