What is NestJS?

NestJS is a TypeScript Node framework for scalable server-side apps inspired by Angular. This gallery lists 800 open-source projects built with NestJS, most of them in DevTools, APIs and Templates, ranked by GitHub stars so the most-adopted repositories come first.

How projects are selected

Projects are public GitHub repositories found with the GitHub search query “topic:nestjs” and at least 30 stars. Each repository is checked against NestJS’s languages and ecosystem before it is categorized, and stars, forks and last-commit dates come straight from the GitHub API, refreshed daily (current snapshot: October 6, 2026). Nothing here is paid placement.
