Introduction

Welcome to the third book of the Shrova Mall series, in this book I will explain the backend project.

I will be using the NestJs framework for the backend project.

NestJS is a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable and scalable server-side applications. It has everything you need.

Install it first and start building our application.

Are you ready? Let's go!

Development Steps

The first step is to install NestJS on your computer.

Create a new Nest project called shrova-be.

Create a new GitHub repository called shrova-be.

Connect your local project to the online GitHub repository.

To deploy our application, we'll create a new web service on render.com

Add environment variables to the web service on render.com and we are done with the backend development.

Our backend server is now ready to serve the frontend application.

Now we can move on to the final step: developing the frontend application.

These were the development steps we need to take to get our application up and running.

Throughout the book, we'll see how to achieve each step in detail.

So, let's get started.
