• 17 Issues, 9 Years, Zero PRs: NestJS's Module-Scoped Guards Problem and How Holu Solves It
  4 projects | dev.to | 1 Oct 2026

  A few days ago, a new issue appeared on the NestJS repository: a developer needed to add an MCP server to their existing application, but their global APP_GUARD was breaking it. The guard covered everything — including routes they didn't own and couldn't decorate with @Public().

• NestJS Guards: CanActivate, ExecutionContext & Reflector
  1 project | dev.to | 26 Sep 2026

  This is written against NestJS 12.0.x (verified September 2026, current @nestjs/core release, v12.0.4). The CanActivate interface, ExecutionContext, and Reflector covered here have been stable since well before v9 and are untouched by v12's ESM and Standard Schema changes — nothing in this article is version-fragile.

  Updated comparison — this supersedes my previous suggestion. A full framework with built‑in DI vs a library that fits your needs. NestJS: - Opinionated framework with its own DI, decorators, and modules. - Conventions wholesale: DI central, most primitives only work inside NestJS. - Node.js runtime only. - Can’t embed in a full‑stack framework or host as one server. - Not adapted for edge runtimes. - Request‑scoped only — no custom scopes. - Wraps existing libs — BullMQ, cache‑manager, class‑validator, etc. - Geared toward microservices and monoliths. - No execution context flowing through all components. - No shared serialization engine across components. - No built‑in transaction context. eridu-tech: - A library, not a framework — DI optional, no decorators, plain classes. - Same cache/lock/event bus in any framework — no lock‑in. - Runs anywhere Winter TC runs — Node, Bun, Deno, edge. - Edge‑adaptable via the adapter pattern. - Embeds in any full‑stack framework — host as one server. - Scope‑agnostic — request, custom, or no scope. - Own primitives with pluggable adapters — in‑memory adapters for testing. - Built for modular monoliths — swap infrastructure without rewriting logic. - Execution context flowing through all components. - Shared serialization engine (Serde) across components. - Will have a transaction context.

• eridu-tech VS Nest - a user suggested alternative
  2 projects | 7 Aug 2026

  Architectural Philosophy & Scope: - NestJS: An opinionated framework with its own dependency injection (DI), decorators, and module system. It enforces conventions wholesale—DI is central, and most primitives only work within the NestJS ecosystem. - eridu-tech: A library, not a framework. DI is optional, plain classes are used instead of decorators, and its primitives (cache, lock, event bus) work in any framework without vendor lock-in. Runtime & Deployment: - NestJS: Limited strictly to the Node.js runtime and not adapted for edge environments. It cannot easily be embedded within a full-stack framework or hosted as a single server. - eridu-tech: Runs on any platform that supports WinterTC (Node.js, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes) using the adapter pattern. It embeds into any full-stack framework and can host as a unified server. - Execution & Scoping: - NestJS: Restricted to request-scoped execution with no support for custom scopes. It does not feature an execution context that flows across all components. - eridu-tech: Fully scope-agnostic (supports request, custom, or no scope at all) and maintains an execution context flowing throughout all components. Library Architecture & Tooling: - NestJS: Wraps external libraries (such as BullMQ, cache-manager, and class-validator). - eridu-tech: Built with its own core primitives alongside pluggable adapters, including dedicated in-memory adapters for local testing. Application Target & Core Services: - NestJS: Geared toward microservices and traditional monoliths. It lacks a shared serialization engine across components and has no built-in transaction context. - eridu-tech: Built specifically for modular monoliths, allowing you to swap infrastructure without rewriting domain logic. It includes a shared serialization engine (Serde) across components and features an upcoming transaction context.

• The Request Context Nightmare: Why NestJS Struggles With It, and How Ditsmod Solved It Years Ago
  2 projects | dev.to | 12 Jul 2026

  Recently, a NestJS GitHub issue raised a compelling feature request: introducing a first-class, framework-level Request Context primitive (@nestjs/context).

• You might not need… the repository pattern
  3 projects | dev.to | 23 May 2026

  If you follow a strict domain model, and propagate changes to other aggregates through events, you can adhere to the above criteria. You're probably writing Java, C#, or JS with Nest (which really, really wants to be Java).
