.NET Web API is where it's at. I built an Express backend today and it feels primitive. The new minimal templates Web API templates are really good and even easier to get rolling than Express.
- jmkni 3y agoI've been using NestJS recently and it is a nice middle ground between the 2. You get the power of Types with the flexibility of Express (as well as access to the entire node ecosystem), I like it.
- CharlieDigital 3y agoI've used Nest and what really got me was that it seemed like a weird compromise. It performs almost an order of magnitude worse than ASP.NET Core and isn't any simpler (TechEmpower; considering only the EF + PG non-middleware cases). I feel like if a team is comfortable with TypeScript and considering Nest.js, C# and .NET Core Web APIs are not any harder, but you get much better throughput for your compute spend.
