The NestJS community recently gathered in Vienna for an insightful meetup featuring talks on multi-tenancy patterns and module management in NestJS. As the ecosystem continues to evolve, meetups like these play a crucial role in knowledge sharing and community growth. If you missed the event, don’t worry—I'll break down the key takeaways and connect them to a deep dive I previously wrote on multi-tenancy with NestJS and TypeORM.
Insights from NestJS Vienna
Multi-Tenancy in NestJS – Dustin Chabrowski
Dustin Chabrowski delivered a talk on multi-tenancy patterns in NestJS, a crucial architecture for SaaS applications and enterprise solutions. He explored different approaches, including database-per-tenant, schema-per-tenant, and shared-database strategies. These approaches help businesses scale their applications while maintaining data isolation and performance.
For those unfamiliar, multi-tenancy is a system where a single application serves multiple tenants (clients), each with its own data segregation strategy. Choosing the right model depends on the complexity of your application, compliance requirements, and expected scalability.
In my previous blog post, NestJS, TypeORM, and Multi-Tenancy, I discussed how to implement multi-tenancy using TypeORM, covering practical solutions like dynamic database connections, middleware, and request-based context resolution.

Pragmatic Module Management – Maciej Sikorski
Another highlight was Maciej Sikorski’s talk on module management in NestJS. He shared strategies for keeping module dependencies under control, which is often an overlooked yet vital aspect of building scalable applications. Managing modules effectively ensures better maintainability, reduced circular dependencies, and improved testability.
Why This Matters for the NestJS Community
Both of these topics—multi-tenancy and module management—are fundamental to designing scalable and maintainable NestJS applications. Multi-tenancy enables robust SaaS architectures, while proper module management keeps applications clean and structured. By combining these insights, developers can create well-architected solutions that scale efficiently.
