Speeding Up NestJS Tests with DB Transactions

Hey HN — I&#x27;m David, and I built Photerra to solve a problem I kept running into: planning trips meant juggling dozens of browser tabs, Google Sheets, and the same recycled &quot;top 10&quot; lists everyone else sees.Photerra turns geolocated photos into map spots you can organize into trips, share with friends, and book from — all in one flow.The core idea: photos with GPS → actual spots on a map → drag into trip days → share → book.What makes Photerra different:• Real locations, not just POIs — Your photos have EXIF GPS data, so you&#x27;re adding exact spots (that actual spot on the trail, not just “Yosemite” - no address needed).• End-to-end flow — Discover → plan → coordinate → book, without switching between 5 apps.• Photo-grounded data — Community spots come from real photos, not scraped listicles, so you find more off-path places.• Works for everyday wandering — Not just big trips. Save local spots and open them in Maps or Uber with one tap.Try it: iOS and Android apps are live (links in comments). I&#x27;ve seeded content in SF, Portland, LA, San Diego, Hawaii, Philly, Yosemite, and Mexico City.Tech: React Native + RN-Maps on mobile; NestJS + TypeORM&#x2F;MySQL + AWS on backend.What I&#x27;d love feedback on:• Is the photo→spot→trip flow intuitive on first use?• What&#x27;s missing to make this truly start-to-finish for your trips?• Any friction in auth, maps, or sharing?Be blunt — it&#x27;s helpful. Happy to answer questions!— David (solo, first-time founder)

So happy to introduce GrowChief (AGPL-3).Growchief is an open-source social media automation tool (aka social scraper).
It allows you to create a workflow (step-by-step) for interacting with different social media accounts, such as sending a connection request, following up with a message, and so on.
Unlike other platforms, GrowChief does not work with search criteria.
You&#x27;ll need to specify the account email, URL, or company information to connect with it. I do not encourage spam.I had tons of fun working on this project 
Tech Stack:
- PNPM (Monorepo)
- React (Vite)
- NestJS (Backend, Workers)
- Prisma (Default to PostgreSQL)
- Temporal (Orchestrator)- It takes care of concurrency — even if you create 10 workflows with the same account and trigger all of them at the same time, it will make an action every 10 minutes, never having multiple scrapings happening at the same time.- Enrichment waterful - when you don&#x27;t provide the account URL but other parameters like email, we use multiple providers to figure out the profile URL.
It takes care of your working hours — you can use the API to keep adding leads to your workflows, but they will only be processed during working hours.- Proxies are allowed — you can add your own proxies or create one using proxy providers to keep you safe.- Human-like automation — GrowChief uses natural mouse movements and clicks on different parts of the screen. It never triggers clicks by &quot;document.querySelector(&#x27;x&#x27;).click()&quot;.- It uses Playwright together with Patchright for maximum stealthiness.- It uses a special technology to authenticate your accounts — you never need to put your username and password directly into the system.- It always runs in headful mode — our Docker image is already built with xvfb for real human automation.It&#x27;s the very first version, I hope you like it :)

I built the Security Test Framework because security testing is usually too complex, too expensive, or gets left until it’s too late. I wanted something lightweight and developer-friendly.With npx security-test auto, the tool auto-detects your project (React, NestJS, Express, etc.), runs 16 categories of security checks (XSS, SQL injection, CSRF, authentication, headers, dependency vulnerabilities, and more), and generates clear HTML&#x2F;JSON&#x2F;text reports.It’s open-source (MIT) and works out of the box — no config required.

Nestjs is popular so there must be something to it. The problem is the complexity. Once you get a certain amount of complexity and meta programming in js you get significant slowdowns. Abstractions are expensive. Also the decorators and DI are weird

Why I Chose Elixir Phoenix over Rails, Laravel, and Next.js

True, the closest thing i like in the node.js backend world is nestjs. It’s a solid framework for building apis, but as an mvp framework, it’s not quite on the same level as laravel, rails, or phoenix.

I have been working on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pikku.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pikku.dev</a>The goal is to provide a fully typed nodeJS framework that allows you to write a typescript function once and then decide whether to wire it up to http, websocket, queues, scheduled tasks, mcp server, cli and other interactions.You can switch between serverless and server deployments without any refactoring &#x2F; completely agnostic to whatever platform your running it onIt also provides services, permissions, auth, eventhub, advanced tree shaking, middleware, schema generation and validation and moreThe way it works is by scanning your project via the typescript compiler and generating a bootstrap file that imports everything you need (hence tree shaking), and allows you to filter down your backend to only the endpoints needed (great to pluck out individual entry points for serverless). It also generates types fetch, rpc, websocket and queue client files. Types is pretty much most of what pikku is about.Think honoJS and nestJS sort of combined together and also decided to support most server standards &#x2F; not just http.Website needs love, currently working on a release to support CLI support and full tree shaking.

I am a developer and reader. I am helping my friend by working at his stealth AI startup company. Previously, I worked at Amazon. I started software engineering to solve real-world problems with software, and that is what keeps me on my way. I define what the problem is, understand why to solve it, design how to solve it with code, write code to do that, evaluate the result after writing code, and repeat the cycle. I am a result-driven developer. Writing code itself does not give me dopamine, meaning that I don’t add features that the end-users do not care about.I am looking for where there is a lot to do, solving real-world problems, a hunger to learn exists, and everyone is collaborative and fun to work with.

## Description

Nest is a framework for building efficient, scalable [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) server-side applications. It uses modern JavaScript, is built with  [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org) preserves compatibility with pure JavaScript and combines elements of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), FP (Functional Programming), and FRP (Functional Reactive Programming).

Under the hood, Nest makes use of [Express](https://expressjs.com/), but also, provides compatibility with a wide range of other libraries, like e.g. [Fastify](https://github.com/fastify/fastify), allowing for easy use of the myriad third-party plugins which are available.

## Installation

```js
$ npm install
```

## Getting Started

Setting up a new project is quite simple. With npm installed, you can create a new Nest project with the following commands in your OS terminal:

```js
$ npm i -g @nestjs/cli
$ nest new project-name
```

## Running the app

```js
# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod
```

## Test

```js
# unit tests
$ npm run test

# e2e tests
$ npm run test:e2e

# test coverage
$ npm run test:cov
```

## Support

Nest is an MIT-licensed open source project. It can grow thanks to the sponsors and support by the amazing backers. If you'd like to join them, please [read more here](https://opencollective.com/nest).
