It follows three programming paradigm techniques.

NestJS framework provides the following common services, and developers focus on business code to build quickly and easily.

Developers write controllers, services, and repositories to write a functionality.

This framework inspired by the Angular framework that uses Typescript and hierarchical components.

It provides an easy way to integrate libraries such as ExpressJS and Fastify.

Nest.JS Advantages

It uses a decorator similar to Angular applications
Need to improve documentation
Integrated Typescript
Community size is much less compared with other frameworks such as Next.jS and Nuxt.js
A learning curve exists for new developers

Nodejs is a Javascript framework that runs outside the browser, i.e. to build server-side applications.

NestJS is a typescript framework that is used to build backend apps. It follows convention over the configuration paradigm.

Yes, NestJS is robust for building Enterprise Applications. The example applications built with NestJS are server-side apps such as
