Hono vs. H3 vs. HatTip vs. Elysia - modern server(less) replacements for Express
Since "Express.js is an old framework that has not evolved for a long time. It's not a good choice for new projects since it can easily lead to security issues and memory leaks." -- H3. Which is also the case for Koa.

Instrumenting AWS Lambda functions with OpenTelemetry SDKs
In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

Why I selected Elixir and Phoenix as my main stack
There are lot of different frameworks out there. If you learn one, there is no guarantee that the next job you find will use the same. For example if you learn Express and the next one used Koa or Nest.

How to convert exist nodejs/expressjs app from javascript to typescript, the painless way
Converting a large Express.js application from JavaScript to TypeScript can be a challenging task. For many applications, this represents a significant portion of their technical debt, as the process may span many days, if not months, and new changes are typically not allowed during the conversion.

Why I keep an eye on the Vue ecosystem and you should too
Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

Preventing SQL injection attacks in Node.js
To better understand how SQL injection works, let's quickly create a vulnerable app using Node.js, Express, and a PostgreSQL database. The application takes user input from a form, constructs a SQL query, and executes it against the database to fetch some data.

WebSocket vs. HTTP communication protocols
Of course, this separation does depend on your application’s architecture. Consider a similar situation where your application and web server are implemented together in the same process, such as a Node.js Express app. A fatal error here will also terminate the web server, limiting the usefulness of the error that the client will receive.

Rust GraphQL APIs for NodeJS Developers: Introduction
Actix-web, while not as feature-rich as NestJS, resembles lighter-weight frameworks such as Fastify or Express. This means much of the folder structure and architectural decisions are left to the developer. I recommend adopting a Model-Service-Resolver (MSR) structure for your application, consisting of:
