I was struggling with nestjs few months back, but one on of your video appered in my feed which was about nestjs microservice, then I watched your other videos, now my whole team is using nestjs and our code structure has been improved.

Please never stop doing videos, you have the most valuable content I have ever seen on JS backend development ❤

[BabakJahangiri-uxfy]

Love your videos! Concise, clear, well articulated. It's amazing to see you're getting the recognition you deserve! almost 18k. next stop 50! Don't stop let's go :D

i have used the Nest JS in past in my carrier just because of your videos i mostly work as front end developer but nest js helps me to stay organized even though on the frontend

[ilmupadiyoutubechanel]

Starting with NestJS and later learning Express is a good approach, as you pointed out. I started my career as an Express developer, and when I switched to NestJS, I had to put in some effort to grasp it initially. However, doing it the other way around is a very good idea.

express is not dead, your love for express is. Express yourself in Nest now, till the next time you find love in expressing Express.

Bro, are you secretly the founder of NestJS? You're always hyping it up! 😂

Personally, I think Express is far better than NestJS, especially if you're implementing Clean Architecture. The only real drawback of Express is that it’s not opinionated. But with NestJS, you’re forced to follow all their rules and conventions, which I find a bit restrictive. It’s just not my cup of tea.

Hey! Awesome videos that help understand nestjs much more quickly!
Have you considered creating a full-fledged course on nestjs (including basic and advanced concepts, code structure, best practices, microservices etc)? I would love to buy and watch it!

[ИльяЗакревский]

I really want to buy course from you man. You really know what you talking about.
(like advance course with all this stuff like monitoring testing microservices etc, maybe real world production project)

I'm a backend developer. All my life working with Java, C# and PHP.
Now Very motivated to change my path to golang or typescript.

I'm going to make two restful API projects only for testing (I need to see how middlewsre, routings, cache, queue and Jobs, security, orm, etc)... One in Gin framework and the other one in NestJS.

I hope to satisfy all my expectations.

I've really enjoyed your NestJS tutorials. Would you be able to make a video on integrating general Node.js packages into NestJS, beyond the usual @nestjs/* modules? i've searched general guides, tutorials but they are very specific to a single package and works for only specific package integration, I'm looking for a general pattern or approach that can be applied to any Node.js package, not just a specific one i tried to integrate better-auth.

[twisterrjl]

Shouldn't the comparison be between Express and Fastify?

[MrSpiftire]

Great video. Do you ever use the NestJS Devtools? Would be interesting if you would make a video sharing your thoughts.

[gtsmeg]

Thank you for your videos about NestJS! As a Laravel developer, I’m eager to enhance my backend skills by learning this framework, particularly for its support of microservices architecture and other features. However, I’m wondering if I should dive straight into NestJS or first focus on the fundamentals of Node.js and Express, since NestJS is built on top of them. What’s your advice?

[sanjeev]

Please make a video on NESTJS Exception Handling escepecially on Rpc Exception on microservices on how the error is propagated

[VijayPrakash-hgqy]

Already migrated from express to nest currently developing a very complex business using nest 😅

[codeStreaner]

i learned ExpressJS but I'm new at back-end development so i wanna learn back-end development standers and best practice so i moved to nest js

How does one scale a nestjs or express server? I just don't get how you go from a single instance of a local server, to something (or somethings) that can serve multiple people. I am familiar with docker and ngnix. Is it like you have multiple copies of your server running on one or more different machines or vps', then nginx routes the traffic equally between them? How does everything communicate or what are the steps needed to go from that local server to something that can be scaled?
