NestJS, or simply Nest, is a server-side Node.js-based web framework for progressive web app development, released as free and open-source software under an MIT License.[3]

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.[1][3] According to the NestJS GitHub repository, the first tagged release, version 4.4.0, was on November 23, 2017.[4]

Over the following years, the framework broadened its functionality, adding support for additional adapters and drivers, such as Fastify,[5] to provide more options for developers. It also introduced integration with popular message brokers, including RabbitMQ[6] and Kafka,[7] to facilitate communication in distributed systems.
