Frontend

Backend

Next.js (React) and Nuxt.js (Vue)

  • SSR and SSG
  • Next.js is a full-stack react framework

Express / NestJS

  • Built on top of Node.js
  • For most backend API projects, developers prefer using Express.js instead of just Node.js because:
    • It simplifies routing, request parsing, and response handling
    • It has built-in support for middleware (e.g., authentication, logging)
    • It reduces boilerplate code
