nestjs/nest

NestJS is an open-source Node.js framework at nestjs/nest, written primarily in TypeScript while preserving compatibility with plain JavaScript. Its README frames it as an architecture-first alternative to hand-assembling Express or Fastify, blending object-oriented, functional, and functional-reactive patterns into an Angular-inspired structure. The GitHub description bills it as aimed at server-side software that's efficient, scales, and holds up at enterprise scale, and the repo carries strong community support in the facts provided here.

expressjs/express

Express.js is a web framework for Node.js maintained under the expressjs GitHub organization, originally authored by TJ Holowaychuk. The README describes it as fast, unopinionated, and minimalist: it adds routing, middleware support, and HTTP helpers directly on top of Node's HTTP module without forcing a particular ORM or template engine.
