🚀 NestJS vs Express: The Real Difference

Express (Flexibility):
//app.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
// Some logics here
res.json({ users: [] });
});


NestJS (Architecture):

// user.controller.ts - Built-in structure
import { Controller, Get, UseGuards } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AuthGuard } from './auth.guard';

@Controller('users')
@UseGuards(AuthGuard) // Built-in decorators
export class UsersController {
@Get()
getUsers() {
return { users: [] };
}
}



🔑 The Key Difference:

Express = You build the house (total freedom) 🏗

NestJS = You get a blueprint + tools (opinionated structure) 📐

🎯 Perfect for:

Express → Quick prototypes, small teams, full control

NestJS → Enterprise apps, large teams, TypeScript lovers
