Build an AI Chatbot with Vercel AI SDK & Gateway

In this 3-hour, full-stack build, we create an AI chatbot from scratch using NestJS and Next.js.

You’ll learn how to harness the Vercel AI SDK + Gateway to stream messages in real time, execute tool calls, and persist conversations with Drizzle ORM.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to integrate a powerful, production-ready AI chat experience into any app.

If you’ve wanted to add AI to your stack, this is the place to start.

Implementing the Strategy Pattern in NestJS

Learn how the Strategy Pattern helps you write cleaner, more modular NestJS code by applying the Dependency Inversion Principle.

Instead of hardcoding logic with endless conditionals, you’ll see how to design flexible, testable strategies that keep your core business logic decoupled from implementation details.

NestJS Hexagonal Architecture + CQRS | Full Project

In this lecture, we’ll build a complete NestJS project using Hexagonal Architecture and CQRS from the ground up.

You’ll learn how to structure your code around core domain logic, application services, and infrastructure adapters — creating a clean, maintainable, and testable system.

We’ll explore command and query separation, event-driven flows, and dependency inversion in practice, culminating in a production-ready example that demonstrates how professional-grade backend systems are designed.

Implementing Idempotency in NestJS with an Interceptor

When building APIs, especially for payments or operations that modify state, you want to avoid executing the same request multiple times if the client retries.

In this post, we’ll walk through how to bring that Stripe-style idempotency pattern into a NestJS application using an Interceptor.

How to Integrate Better-Auth with NestJS + tRPC

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.

Add SSL to Drizzle + NestJS for AWS RDS (Postgres)

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.

Goodbye Node.js? NestJS + Bun: The Future of Fast Backends

Experience blazing-fast performance by running your NestJS apps on Bun, with instant startup times, a lightning-quick package manager, and the ability to execute TypeScript directly without a separate build step.

See how Bun can streamline your workflow while delivering serious speed gains for your APIs.

Building a NestJS App with SWC: A Step-by-Step Guide

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.

Build a Full-Stack Todo App with Turborepo, tRPC, Next.js, NestJS & React Native

Take your TypeScript skills to the next level by building a production-grade full-stack Todo app with modern tools:

- Turborepo for monorepo management and code sharing
- PNPM for blazing-fast dependency installs
- Next.js + tRPC for a type-safe web frontend
- NestJS for a robust backend
- Expo + React Native for a mobile experience
- End-to-end type safety across the entire stack

Express vs Fastify: A Performance Benchmark Comparison

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.
