Nitro is a heavily opinionated template for building Serverless applications with
NestJS, the fastest-growing
NodeJS framework in the world by github stars.
Database support
with Azure Table Storage.
File Upload
with Azure Blob Storage.
Hosting
with Azure Functions.
Built natively in TypeScript a Nitro-Stack NestJS application gives you the confidence of Type safety with the productivity of JavaScript.
Nitro applications are Serverless, they scale automatically and you only pay for what you use. From the application hosting, to file-upload to the database support, all parts of a Nitro stack auto-scale.
A NestJS application sits on either express or fastify (you choose) with access to both platforms diverse ecosystem of modules and packages
No need to choose upfront, a NestJS application allows you to expose entities as either a series of Rest endpoints or a single GraphQL endpoint.
Your gateway to over 100 Azure cloud services.
A Nitro application is just a NestJS application with Serverless support on Azure. So to begin create a NestJS application
npm i -g @nestjs/clinest new nitro-catscd nitro-catsnest start
To deploy as a serverless application on Azure you first need to add the
nest add @nestjs/azure-func-http module, this converts your NestJS application to a
Serverless Azure Function.
npm i -g @nestjs/clinest new nitro-catscd nitro-catsnest start

npm install --global @manekinekko/hexaYou will need an account on the Azure platform, you can get one for free
hexa loginThen create our home ❤ in the cloud.
hexa init --just=functionsFinally deploy our application to the cloud!
