Nest is designed to run anywhere, whether locally, in the cloud, or in serverless environments. This makes it perfect for developers who need flexibility in their deployment strategy.

Use cases:

  • Run locally for small-scale projects or testing.

  • Deploy in cloud environments for production workloads.

  • Use serverless functions for cost-efficient, scalable operations.

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import { INestApplication } from '@nestjs/common';

async function bootstrap() {
  const app: INestApplication = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  
  // Set global prefix for all routes
  app.setGlobalPrefix('api');

  // Enable CORS for all routes
  app.enableCors({
    origin: 'http://localhost:4200',
    methods: 'GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE',
    credentials: true,
  });

  // Use a custom logger
  app.useLogger(['log', 'error', 'warn', 'debug']);

  // Start the application and listen on a specified port
  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
  await app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Application running on http://localhost:${port}/api`);
  });
}
bootstrap();
