NestJS

NestJS is a Node.js backend framework structured in Angular-like modules, providers, and decorators, with first-class TypeScript and dependency injection. It scales well for HTTP APIs, GraphQL, microservices, and background workers when you want opinionated structure over a minimal Express app. Common companions: Prisma or Sequelize for persistence, Zod or class-validator for request validation, and Redis for cache or queues.
