Conclusion:

NDSK offers a streamlined full-stack solution with integrated React for frontend and Hapi for backend. It leverages esbuild for fast builds, automatic optimization, and built-in MongoDB and security support. Compared to Next.js and Nuxt.js, which focus primarily on frontend and require more backend configuration, NDSK simplifies full-stack development with fewer setup steps. NestJS excels in backend but lacks the full-stack integration and frontend capabilities of NDSK.
