Deployment

When you're ready to deploy your NestJS application to production, there are some key steps you can take to ensure it runs as efficiently as possible. Check out the deployment documentation for more information.

If you are looking for a cloud-based platform to deploy your NestJS application, check out Mau, our official platform for deploying NestJS applications on AWS. Mau makes deployment straightforward and fast, requiring just a few simple steps:

$ npm install -g @nestjs/mau
$ mau deploy

With Mau, you can deploy your application in just a few clicks, allowing you to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.

Observability

In production applications, observability is essential for understanding how your system behaves, detecting issues early, and maintaining reliable performance.

NestJS Observe automatically instruments your NestJS application, giving you deep visibility into your system with minimal setup:

• Distributed tracing: Follow requests across services and understand how they flow through your system.
• Waterfall analysis: Visualize request execution and identify slow operations, bottlenecks, and unexpected delays.
• Performance analysis: Analyze application performance in real time and quickly pinpoint areas that need optimization.
• Metrics: Track key application and infrastructure metrics to understand system health and performance trends.
• Logging: Centralize and correlate logs with traces and other telemetry to make debugging easier.
• Error tracking: Detect errors quickly and investigate their root causes with the surrounding context.
• SLA monitoring: Track service-level objectives and identify when your application is approaching or exceeding defined thresholds.
• Alarms and alerts: Set up alerts for critical errors, performance degradation, SLA violations, and other anomalies so your team can react quickly.

To add it to this project:

$ npm install @nestjs/observe

Then follow the setup guide - it takes a single import and an app key.

The free plan needs no payment details and covers 300,000 events a month. You can also browse the live demo first - the whole dashboard over a busy service's data, with nothing to install.
