Core Principles

The foundational principles behind PEST.js and its architecture.

Note:

PEST.js is built on core principles that ensure scalability, maintainability, and security for backend applications.

Core Principles

1

Modularity

PEST.js follows a feature-based modular structure, separating concerns into well-defined components:

featuresadd
controllersadd
servicesadd
modelsadd
2

Type Safety

With a TypeScript-first approach, PEST.js leverages strong typing for:

  • Better code quality
  • Fewer runtime errors
  • Enhanced developer experience
  • Improved maintainability
3

Security by Default

Note:

Security is a top priority. PEST.js includes:

  • Helmet for HTTP headers
  • CORS configuration
  • Rate limiting
  • Input validation using Zod
4

Scalability

Designed to scale from small projects to large enterprise applications with:

  • Modular architecture
  • Efficient routing
  • Database optimization
  • Caching support
