Mastering API Architecture With nestjs: Secure APIs, Simplified with NestJS

Why API Security Matters and Mastering It with NestJS: An Overview
API security is a cornerstone of modern application development, protecting critical data and ensuring seamless communication between systems. As APIs increasingly drive interactions across web, mobile, and IoT platforms, they become prime targets for malicious attacks, including data breaches, injection attacks, and unauthorized access. Weak API security can compromise sensitive user information, disrupt operations, and harm an organization’s reputation.
This book, Mastering API Security with NestJS and TypeScript, is a comprehensive guide designed to empower developers with the tools and knowledge needed to design and implement robust, secure APIs. Built on the foundation of NestJS—a progressive Node.js framework—and TypeScript, this book seamlessly integrates security best practices into the API development lifecycle.
You’ll learn to implement authentication and authorization mechanisms using tools like Passport.js and OAuth2, secure data exchanges with HTTPS and JWTs, and safeguard against common threats such as injection attacks and API abuse. Advanced topics include Zero Trust security models, rate limiting, and building secure, scalable multi-tenant APIs.
By blending theoretical insights with practical examples, this book prepares developers to tackle real-world security challenges and build APIs that are not only functional but resilient. Whether you're a developer or an architect, this book equips you with actionable strategies to master API security.
