From Spring Boot to NestJS: The Chameleon Phase of My Backend Life
Let’s be real — running a Spring Boot backend at scale isn’t cheap. And I wasn’t ready to keep burning resources just for the sake of familiarity. I needed efficiency without the cost, performance without complexity, and a codebase that doesn’t feel like a jungle. That’s where NestJS stepped in — and surprisingly, it held up really well. I’ve been working on an LMS (Learning Management System) platform for over a year now — my very first project since I started learning how to build websites and full-stack infrastructure. The frontend changed more times than a chameleon changes its colors
