    Edit: here's the link to the PR

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

    Project mention: React Sees a dip in NPM downloads this week | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

    Okay another update: https://www.npmjs.com/package/express

    Express is also down. Can anyone explain what's going on? Are people really moving to Astro, Bun, Svelte? Or NPM is behaving weirdly?

  • Koa

    Expressive middleware for node.js using ES2017 async functions

    Project mention: Server-side Rendering (SSR) From Scratch with React | dev.to | 2023-08-30

    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.

  • fastify

    Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

    Project mention: Should you use jest as a testing library? | dev.to | 2023-07-27

    For example, Fastify removed the instanceof operatorfrom its codebase because it was causing problems for those developers that rely on jest as a testing framework.

  • SailsJS

    Project mention: The Ascent of Node.js: How a runtime changed the Web | dev.to | 2023-08-30

  • 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

    Restify & Fastify Hapi

  • 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.
