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.

Server-side Rendering (SSR) From Scratch with React
The initial step is to create our entry point, from where the page will be rendered. In this case, we will use the koa framework.

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.

Preact Releases Signals
We've seen this framework forking happen a lot as good ideas are remixed like Aurelia via Angular, Derw via Elm, Restify via Express, and Spring Boot via Spring to name a few. It's interesting to me this obsession with performance that Preact has with their ability to provide a simple API. That said, I am in no way convinced this'll solve the architecture problem. Without at least guidance, or more importantly, a framework + docs on how to utilize Signals at scale, you'll just end up with a random mess. Still, it's awesome how far they've come, and it's neat to see them still innovating years later.

how to deploy a graphQL server with docker and fly
Express GraphQL is a library for building production ready GraphQL HTTP middleware. Despite the emphasis on Express in the repo name, you can create a GraphQL HTTP server with any HTTP web framework that supports connect styled middleware. This includes Connect itself, Express and Restify.

What is your current stack?
Is express still the go-to HTTP server? How are hapi and restify doing? Has koa ever really picked up? Is there any new cool stuff to watch out for (fastify, anyone)?

Are you using promises and async / await safely in Node.js?
Restify - No native support yet. Support merged mid-2020, scheduled for a v9 release.
- Ask HN: How do you build APIs with Node in 2021?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Koa and Restify you can also consider the following projects:

Express - Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
Next.js - The React Framework
fastify - Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js
loopback-next - LoopBack makes it easy to build modern API applications that require complex integrations.
fastify-express - Express compatibility layer for Fastify
feathers - The API and real-time application framework
