Nest JS with 12 Factor App
Guys Recently I have created a playlist on youTube explaining things about Nest JS Microservices and how to add 12 factor principles in this microservice
Let's Talk about this a bit More
12 Factor App
The Twelve-Factor App methodology is a methodology for building software-as-a-service applications. These best practices are designed to enable applications to be built with portability and resilience when deployed to the web
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Factor_App_methodology
I have created this playlist to cover all these aspects by showing how all these can be applied to a simple nestjs service.
We started with basic nestjs app and setting up all different aspect of a clean microservice
- like linting
- test setup using jest for e2e and unit tests
- CI/CD setup for app deployment
- build and Migration script
- Modular structure for application modules
- health checks and application monitoring with security modules

The twelve-factor methodology is not specific to Node.js and much of these tips are already general enough for any cloud.gov application.
- Pin Down NPM Package Versions with Yarn.lock
- Use Git Flow as a Reliable Version Control Model
- Manage Configuration Values with Environment Variables
- Build, Release and Run Containers with Docker Compose
- Run Stateless Docker Containers
- Export Services with Docker Port Binding
- Scale Docker Horizontally with Nginx Load Balancing
- Ensure Containers Run with High-Availability
- Run Consistent Dev, Stage & Prod Docker Environments
- Pipe Log Output to STDOUT with Docker
Please let me know if this helped in building microservices using all these 12 factors.
