About @nestjs/platform-express
The npm package "@nestjs/platform-express" is a crucial component for developers utilizing the NestJS framework to create efficient server-side applications. This package integrates Express.js, one of the most popular Node.js web application frameworks, with NestJS, enhancing the framework's capabilities to manage HTTP server tasks. By utilizing "@nestjs/platform-express", developers can leverage the robust features of Express.js, such as complex routing, middleware support, and simplified multiple server configuration, all within the NestJS environment. This integration not only streamlines development by reducing the need for separate middleware handling but also significantly boosts the application's performance and scalability.
To start using this powerful integration in your NestJS projects, simply run the command `npm install @nestjs/platform-express`. This command installs the necessary package that wraps Express.js as the HTTP server for your Nest applications, allowing you to fully utilize all the native functionalities of Express.js seamlessly within the NestJS framework. The installation is straightforward and integrates smoothly with existing NestJS projects, providing immediate access to Express's extensive middleware ecosystem and other HTTP utilities, which are essential for building reliable and secure web applications.
The "@nestjs/platform-express" package is an indispensable tool for developers aiming to maximize the efficiency and capabilities of their server-side applications. By combining the strengths of both NestJS and Express.js, it offers a comprehensive solution that addresses complex server management issues while maintaining the simplicity and speed of development that NestJS is known for. This makes it an excellent choice for enterprises and individual developers looking to build high-performance, scalable web applications using modern technologies.

A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.
Description
Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications. It uses modern JavaScript, is built with TypeScript (preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript) and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).
Under the hood, Nest makes use of Express, but also provides compatibility with a wide range of other libraries, like Fastify, allowing for easy use of the myriad of third-party plugins which are available.
Philosophy
In recent years, thanks to Node.js, JavaScript has become the “lingua franca” of the web for both front and backend applications, giving rise to awesome projects like Angular, React, and Vue, which improve developer productivity and enable the construction of fast, testable, and extensible frontend applications. However, on the server-side, while there are a lot of superb libraries, helpers, and tools for Node, none of them effectively solve the main problem - the architecture.
Nest aims to provide an application architecture out of the box which allows for effortless creation of highly testable, scalable, and loosely coupled and easily maintainable applications. The architecture is heavily inspired by Angular.
