.NET Web API is where it's at. I built an Express backend today and it feels primitive. The new minimal templates Web API templates are really good and even easier to get rolling than Express.

I've been using NestJS recently and it is a nice middle ground between the 2.
You get the power of Types with the flexibility of Express (as well as access to the entire node ecosystem), I like it.

I've used Nest and what really got me was that it seemed like a weird compromise.
It performs almost an order of magnitude worse than ASP.NET Core and isn't any simpler (TechEmpower; considering only the EF + PG non-middleware cases).
I feel like if a team is comfortable with TypeScript and considering Nest.js, C# and .NET Core Web APIs are not any harder, but you get much better throughput for your compute spend.
