fullstack-pulumi-mern-digitalocean VS Express

Hopefully this gives you a sense of the kinds of things you can do with Pulumi and DigitalOcean—and I definitely encourage you to spend a little time with the App Platform docs to dig a bit deeper into some of these concepts and explore a few others we weren't able to cover. You'll find the full source for this walkthrough on GitHub, of course, with finished branch containing the completed Pulumi program for reference.

On the index.js, environment variables are loaded, then we can find the API routing powered with Express. Here is the /send request:

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.
