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.

What is your ideal setup for new project for solo developers
Backend is more tricky. - RESTful APIs I prefer Koajs - For a RPC/microsevice, I have only used gRPC - For a CLI, yargs and inquirer

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.

Ask HN: Is Express still "de-facto" for building Node back ends?
I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.
Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.
Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

Validate SvelteKit endpoints with Joi
Joi validator used to be part of hapi but then became a standalone library that you can use everywhere where validation is needed. So for example, here's how username validation can be done:
