A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.

Description

Session-Based Authentication in NestJS with Redis, with passwordless OTP, enables secure and scalable user sessions by storing session data in Redis and authenticating users via one-time passwords (OTP) instead of traditional passwords.
