The core argument is that NestJS's real value lies in providing structural conventions — modules, providers, guards, pipes, and interceptors — that give teams a shared way to build, preventing the chaos of multiple developers inventing different architectures in the same codebase. NestJS doesn't guarantee good architecture, but it gives it a place to live. ## Content NestJS is not just Express with decorators. Its real value is structure: modules, providers, guards, pipes and interceptors give the entire team a shared way to build. Most growing teams do not suffer from too little flexibility. They suffer from five developers inventing five different architectures in one codebase. NestJS does not guarantee good architecture, but it gives good architecture somewhere to live. What has NestJS made easier or unnecessarily complicated for your team?
