NestForge documentation

Build NestForge services without guessing the runtime or the workspace.

Documentation for application teams shipping APIs and for contributors working inside the framework: installation, CLI workflow, core concepts, transport guides, examples, crate architecture, and release process.

Quick Start Crate Architecture

Choose your lane

The docs split cleanly between building on NestForge and evolving NestForge itself.

Build applications Ship services with the runtime, guides, transports, and examples.

Start here for installation, request flow, auth, data access, testing, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets, and microservices.

Work on the framework Navigate the workspace through crate ownership, API boundaries, and release flow.

Use this lane for macro internals, workspace structure, contribution rules, framework quality, and release mechanics.
