Hi [Sunrit Jana](https://hashnode.com/@janaSunrise)

Nestjs is also a framework based on nodejs, what do you think about it?

Hey there! I haven't used it much, But AFAIK it's a frontend framework, while fastify is one for backend, just like ExpressJS. I'm not a JS developer, but I recently started working with React, and Fastify Journey's been awesome, Hoping to checkout NestJS next!

[Sunrit Jana](https://hashnode.com/@janaSunrise) All the best on your journey Sunrit. You're doing great for your age. Keep it up.

Btw NestJS is a backend framework based on NodeJS. It has express as default, but still fastify can be configured in that. Try it out.
