graphql VS Hapi

Let’s use the official documentation to follow the correct setup Documentation | NestJS - A progressive Node.js framework

Also use Express and Apollo, following Quick start.

This code demonstrates the centralized addition of a guard to a module, and by the way, NestJS v9 still doesn’t support this feature. In NestJS, adding a guard is supported only at the controller or method level, because the guard is not considered a provider.

To change your NestJS API into GraphQL, follow the GraphQL quickstart with NestJS and import the following code to your AppModule in src/app.module.ts.

Nest.js is an excellent alternative for GraphQL APIs building for Angular design and DDD lovers. Nest.js comes with:

I am interested in getting subscriptions working with federation. One solution I think is to run a separate non-federated end-point but I think NestJS has a bug where is merges the schemas. https://github.com/nestjs/graphql/issues/721 has been locked for over a year :(

Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.

Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

Hapi.js commonly referred to as "hapi," is an open-source web application framework for building web and application server systems in Node.js. It was created by Walmart Labs and is designed to provide a flexible and robust foundation for building web applications, APIs, and other networked software.

Hapi – The Simple, Secure Framework Developers Trust

Hapi.js is one of the best Node.js web framework, which is used for developing application program interfaces. Thanks to a strong plugin system Hapi.js, you can fully manage the development process. Hapi.js motivates the devel­oper to focus on the reuse logic instead of spending time building the infrastructure.

does not seem so https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/releases/tag/v21.0.0 (ok, I'm nitpicking on that one)

Joi validator used to be part of hapi but then became a standalone library that you can use everywhere where validation is needed. So for example, here's how username validation can be done:
