Restify VS LoopBack

Restify & Fastify Hapi

Restify – Optimized NodeJS Microservice Framework

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.

Restify.js: Future of Node.js REST development

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.

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)?

Restify - No native support yet. Support merged mid-2020, scheduled for a v9 release.

Backend is usually an API you design, can simply use Rails for this, basic Express.js or some framework like https://loopback.io/ if you want javascript otherwise you want 'system design' https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer for all the load balancers/dbms if that's what you mean.

LoopBack – Highly Extensible Node.js and TypeScript framework

We deliberately decided not to use "kitchen-sink included" frameworks such as Laravel, Django, Loopback or Nest.js to keep things simple.

Loopback

I'd say check out https://loopback.io

This interface defines the basic CRUD capabilities that any entity should provide. This contract is based on frameworks like Loopback, Django RF, RoR and Spring. The Service.kt looks something like:
