My Go-To Stack: React, NestJS, and Spring Boot

As a full-stack developer, I’ve explored a wide range of frontend and backend technologies, but I keep coming back to a few that consistently deliver: React, NestJS, and Spring Boot.

Why React?

React lets me build fast, responsive, and modular user interfaces. With its component-based structure and rich ecosystem, it enables a smooth development experience and great scalability. Libraries like react-hook-form, RTK Query, and frameworks like Next.js take things even further.

Why NestJS?

When building Node.js-based backends, NestJS provides a clean, structured, and scalable architecture out of the box. It brings the best parts of Angular’s patterns into server-side development and integrates seamlessly with TypeScript, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and REST or GraphQL APIs.

Why Spring Boot?

Spring Boot remains unmatched for Java-based backend services. It’s powerful, production-ready, and offers great tools for building secure, testable, and robust APIs. With built-in support for dependency injection, scheduling, and Spring Security, it’s my go-to for enterprise-grade applications.

What This Stack Offers Me

• 🚀 Rapid development with reusable components
• 💪 Strong typing and clean architecture
• 🔒 Security and performance in backend services
• ⚙️ Easy integration with CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes
• 🌍 Production-ready for modern, distributed systems

Real-World Use Case

In a recent project, I built a distributed timesheet platform using React for the frontend, NestJS for microservices, and Spring Boot for core domain APIs and background workflows. Each piece handled what it does best—and together, they delivered a powerful and flexible solution.
