NestJS

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

We prefer to use NestJS for Node.js projects when there is a relative high degree of complexity. We feel it is especially well suited for containerised microservices.

NestJS is an opinionated OO-inspired backend MVC framework which allows us build more complex Node.js backends more efficiently. For more simple backends the use of NestJS may be overkill and may add more overhead than is warranted.
