Moleculer

:rocket: Progressive microservices framework for Node.js

Project mention: Make microservices look like monoliths | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-17

My goto for this kind of task is moleculer: https://moleculer.services/
Fast, battle tested, vue2-like approach, great documentation, good community. The automatic indipendent-scalability as an option is usually the main selling point of these solutions, but honestly I think the real pro is the "composition" approach, which is essential if you want to keep a clean and well-organized codebase. On this regard, I found moleculer pretty great even for large teams.
