Nestjs Project Performance

Overview

This article discusses the performance and features of a Node.js framework called NestJS. The author suggests that if your focus is on performance or specific features, you may consider using alternative modules within NestJS. They provide examples of alternative modules, including using Fastify instead of Express, Prisma with nestjs-prisma instead of TypeORM, SWC instead of TypeScript compiler, and Vitest with vitest-mock-extended instead of Jest. The article also covers the installation process, including creating a .env file, editing the schema.prisma file, and providing instructions for development, testing and production environments.

Features

• Fastify: A module that can be used as an alternative to Express for improved performance.
• Prisma with nestjs-prisma: A module that can replace TypeORM for database management and integration with NestJS.
• SWC: An alternative to the TypeScript compiler for faster compilation and improved performance.
• Vitest with vitest-mock-extended: An alternative to Jest for testing and mocking in NestJS.

Development

• Run http://localhost:3000 to start the development server.

Test

• Execute the testing process.

Production

• Deploy the application for production use.

Summary

This article provides an overview of NestJS, a Node.js framework, focusing on its performance and features. It suggests alternative modules that can be used in place of default modules for improved performance. The installation guide and instructions for development, testing, and production environments are also provided.
