Apache Kafka
Use an Apache Kafka message broker to communicate between your services.
Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform, used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications. It is a publish-subscribe messaging system that allows for the creation of high-throughput and low-latency systems.
In the Apache Kafka messaging system, processes known as producers write data to Kafka topics, and processes known as consumers read data from Kafka topics.
NestJS NATS
Use a NestJS NATS message broker to communicate between your services.
NATS is a high performance, low latency messaging system that is lightweight. It follows a publish-subscribe model like Kafka but is less complex and easier to set up. NATS is ideal for applications that require real-time messaging but don't need the level of durability and fault-tolerance that Kafka provides.
A User entity must exist in order to enable this plugin in your project. Learn how to add the user entity into your service.
JWT Auth Provider
Add JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication and authorization to your service.
NestJS's Passport based JWT authentication involves the client sending a request to the server with a user's credentials in the form of a username and password. The server then authenticates the user and issues a JWT if the credentials are valid. This allows the client to authenticate subsequent requests to the server using the JWT.
The NestJS Auth Provider plugin must also be installed to use the JWT Auth Provider plugin.
Passport Basic Authentication
Basic authentication is a simple authentication scheme built into the HTTP protocol that involves sending a request to a server with a user's credentials in the form of a username and password. The credentials are encoded in base64 and included in the Authorization header of the request.
The NestJS Auth Provider plugin must also be installed to use the Passport Basic Authentication plugin.
Auth0 Authentication Provider
Integrate Auth0's robust authentication solutions into your service with the Auth0 Authentication Provider plugin. Auth0 offers a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications.
Prettier
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that automatically formats your code to ensure adherence to a consistent style. Code is automatically formatted every time it is committed.
