Choose NestJS if:
- You're building a large-scale, enterprise, or microservices-based application.
- You prefer TypeScript and want built-in features like DI, validation, and modularity.
- You need native support for GraphQL, WebSockets or event-driven architecture.
Choose Express if:
- You're building a simple app, prototype or MVP.
- You need complete flexibility and prefer minimal abstractions.
- Your team is already experienced with Express or you're integrating with an existing app.
NestJS is ideal for complex, scalable and enterprise-grade apps,
While Express is better suited for lightweight, quick and simple projects.
