is deletion actually a thing or just formality in production?

Let's take shopify as an example, if a product is deleted, and as they claim deleted product can't be restored, how do they do their stats and other things related to orders Because the relationships in database will be Product -> Orders So technically if a product is deleted orders is supposed to be cascade deleted Or they have a boolean were on delete it sets thr product to deleted 😅 (or how do you handle such cases at work) Or will Orders be an Orhan were the relationship will be null on product deletion

{
req.db = Dbconnection
})

Also, do i need to await the db? Because it's going to create more complexity

is nest js the laravel of the javascript land?

I really love the laravel approach like all the batteries to implement nearly anything you want out of the box From queues to auth, etc, I am planning to rewrite a current project based on t3 stack. i really loved it, but things are getting too complex, so i want to break to backend and frontend separation type of thing Just wanted to get your views on nest js for the backend i hate the syntax though i would have loved to use express js but just that i want something close to the,DX t3 stack provides but regular rest api based and TypeScript Also, websockets, web hooks, and queues are very much present on it and one of the reasons i am moving of the t3 stack.
