> Loved working with Typescript. Wanted to continue using it in the backend, but also wanted to get spun up quickly using familiar design patterns than encouraged adhering to SOLID principles. NestJS does that to a T.  Migrated all services to NestJS, haven't looked back. Easy integration with all DBs, including MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis. Fantastic error handling, unit testing, E2E testing, etc.
