NestJS + Angular + GraphQL + Kafka + Cassandra + Astra DB + Nx codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

Demo    RealWorld

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with NestJS including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the NestJS community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

How it works

The database is Cassandra with Astra DB, it's in cloud. So don't worry about setting up a database locally. Just follow below instructions to run the application locally.

Getting started

We are using Kafka in this project, you can use Kafdrop to run Kafka locally. Please goto this repo https://github.com/obsidiandynamics/kafdrop and clone the Kafdrop to local.

Then we can easily start the Kafdrop docker-compose by running:

cd docker-compose/kafka-kafdrop

docker-compose up

This application needs Node vesion v18.12.1 (npm v8.19.2). Then run:

npm install

Run Backend Services:

nx run-many --target=serve --projects=auth-service,conduit-gateway,profile-service,article-service --parallel=4

Run Frontend Angular Application:

nx serve client
