nestjs/awesome-nestjs

Awesome list of nest resources

Summary

nestjs/awesome-nestjs is a community-curated index of resources for the NestJS framework, organized as a single Markdown document. It links to official documentation, community channels, talks, podcasts, tutorials, example apps, boilerplates, and open-source projects that use NestJS. The repository itself is not a library or application to install, but a reference list maintained on GitHub.

What it is useful for

Engineers working with NestJS can use the list to discover material outside the official docs without having to search the web themselves. The README groups links into sections that map to common needs:

• Learning NestJS — under Resources, the list points to the official guide, the typescript-starter and javascript-starter repos, dev.to articles, YouTube talks (such as Kamil Myśliwiec's framework talks and Jay McDoniel's "Good Parts" talk), a Russian-language full course by TeaCoder, and 30-day learning repos.
• Studying architecture patterns — under Examples, you can find the Realworld Example App (NestJS + TypeORM), a Domain-Driven Design library example, a TypeScript Clean Architecture sample, and a NestJS + RabbitMQ graceful shutdown example.
• Starting a new service — under Boilerplate, the list indexes starters that bundle choices like Prisma vs. TypeORM vs. MikroORM, PostgreSQL vs. MongoDB, Passport-JWT, Swagger, Docker, and testing setups (for example, the "Fully tested NestJS Prisma Clean Architecture Boilerplate" or "NestJS Boilerplate with Awesome Docs").
• Finding real production usage — under Projects using NestJS, the list names open-source products such as Vendure, Novu, ToolJet, and Ever.

How engineers can use it

There is no install step. The repository is consumed by reading the README on GitHub or cloning it locally with git clone https://github.com/nestjs/awesome-nestjs to search the Markdown offline. A practical workflow is:

1. Skim the Resources section to confirm the official guide is still the entry point, then jump to the category that matches the current task (auth, testing, real-time, serverless, and so on).
2. Pick one or two examples from the Examples section that resemble the target architecture, and read their README to compare folder layout and module organization before scaffolding a new app.
3. Use the Boilerplate section to shortlist starters that already wire the ORM, auth, and CI choices you need, instead of assembling them from scratch.
4. Use the Projects using NestJS section to read the source of comparable open-source products when debugging a specific integration (GraphQL federation, multi-tenancy, headless commerce, notification infrastructure).

If a useful link is missing, the README points to a CONTRIBUTING.md for adding entries. The source supplied here did not include the full License section, so confirm the license terms in the repository before reusing content.
