    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.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • LoopBack

    LoopBack makes it easy to build modern applications that require complex integrations.

    Project mention: Looking for resources to learn backend only stuff with JavaScript | /r/learnprogramming | 2023-04-11

    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.

  • Restify

    The future of Node.js REST development

    Project mention: Stop using express.js | dev.to | 2023-05-31

  • 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.
