History
In February 2017, Kamil Myśliwiec was inspired by Angular to build a Node.js-based framework with an architecture based on Socket.IO and Express.{{cite web |last=Myśliwiec |first=Kamil |date=2017-02-26 |df=mdy |title=Build modern & scalable Node.js web applications with Nest |department=Blog |work=Kamil Myśliwiec |url=https://kamilmysliwiec.com/build-modern-scalable-node-js-web-applications-with-nest |access-date=2024-11-22}} According to the NestJS GitHub repository, the first tagged release, version 4.4.0, was on November 23, 2017.{{cite web |date=2017-11-23 |df=mdy |title=Release v4.4.0 |department=nestjs/nest |work=GitHub |url=https://github.com/nestjs/nest/releases/tag/v4.4.0 |access-date=2024-11-22}}
Over the following years, the framework broadened its functionality, adding support for additional adapters and drivers, such as Fastify,{{cite web |df=mdy |title=Fastify integration |work=NestJS |url=https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/performance |access-date=2024-12-16}} to provide more options for developers. It also introduced integration with popular message brokers, including RabbitMQ{{cite web |df=mdy |title=RabbitMQ integration |work=NestJS |url=https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/performance |access-date=2024-12-16}} and Kafka,{{cite web |df=mdy |title=Kafka integration |work=NestJS |url=https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/performance |access-date=2024-12-16}} to facilitate communication in distributed systems.
Features
NestJS offers several features for handling requests and responses. Middleware are based on Express, and are executed before the route handler. Guards are used to control access to routes by determining whether a request meets specific conditions. Interceptors allow additional logic to be executed before or after method execution. An interceptor should implement the intercept method of NestInterceptor.
Popularity
NestJS is used by Sanofi, Adidas, Autodesk, Mercedes-Benz, GitLab, Red Hat, BMW, Roche, IBM, Decathlon, Société Générale, JetBrains, TotalEnergies, Capgemini, REWE digital and others.{{cite web |df=mdy |title=Enterprise |work=NestJS |url=https://enterprise.nestjs.com/ |access-date=2024-11-22}}{{cite web |df=mdy |title=Who is using Nest? |department=Discover |work=NestJS Documentation |url=https://docs.nestjs.com/discover/companies |access-date=2024-11-22}}
