Integrating authentication into a NestJS + tRPC project doesn’t have to be painful.

In this guide, we’ll walk through wiring up Better-Auth with nestjs-trpc so every API call can automatically resolve the current user from secure cookies.

Connecting to AWS RDS without SSL leaves your database traffic exposed.

This guide shows how to secure Drizzle ORM + NestJS with TLS covering Drizzle Kit setup, a production-ready DatabaseModule, and deployment tips for Docker and Kubernetes.

Supercharge your NestJS development by replacing tsc with SWC — a Rust-based TypeScript compiler that’s up to 20× faster and more memory-efficient.

This hands-on guide for experienced developers walks you through setting up a standalone NestJS app with SWC, complete with configuration tips, performance benchmarks, and Docker deployment strategies.

In this detailed performance benchmark, we put Express and Fastify head-to-head in a real-world test using Autocannon. Our results showed Fastify handling over twice the number of requests per second and delivering significantly lower latency compared to Express.

Dive into the analysis to discover why Fastify consistently outperforms Express and understand when each framework might be the right choice for your Node.js applications.

HTTP Keep-Alive is one of the easiest ways to boost performance in your NestJS apps. By reusing TCP connections for multiple requests, you can reduce latency, avoid port exhaustion, and handle higher throughput with less overhead.

In this post, we’ll explore how to enable and tune Keep-Alive in both NestJS servers and clients, including real-world best practices for high-performance APIs.

Microservices offer scalability and flexibility, but they also introduce significant complexity, making them a poor fit for many Node.js applications.

The key is not to default to microservices but to adopt them when the trade-offs justify the benefits.
