What is NestJS?
NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. It uses TypeScript by default and combines elements of OOP, FP, and FRP.
Inspired by Angular, NestJS provides an out-of-the-box application architecture that allows developers to create highly testable, scalable, and maintainable applications. It's built on top of Express (or Fastify) but adds much more structure.
