## The Human Context (Plain-English Pitch)
NestJS is a structured Node.js framework for building scalable enterprise-grade backend services using TypeScript. It eliminates structural chaos by enforcing clean architectural patterns and dependency injection right out of the box. Teams use it to build robust REST APIs, GraphQL services, and microservices without reinventing boilerplate infrastructure.
