Building a Node API with Fastify, esbuild, and Nx

• nx

  122 17,689 10.0 TypeScript

  Smart, Fast and Extensible Build System

  

  👩‍💻 Nx GitHub

• fastify

  46 27,417 9.6 JavaScript

  Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

  

  We’ll be using Fastify as the framework of choice. Fastify is a fast (as the name implies) and low-overhead server in Node. It has grown in popularity, recently crossing the 1 million weekly download mark on npm. I’m a fan of Fastify’s plugin architecture, and the ecosystem is quite impressive, boasting over 250 core and community plugins.

• jest

  140 42,050 9.7 TypeScript

  Delightful JavaScript Testing.

  

  Unit tests take advantage of Fastify’s plugin architecture, and allows you to test each plugin in isolation. It runs using Jest, which is the most popular test runner in Node.

• flyctl

  363 1,030 0.0 Go

  Command line tools for fly.io services

  

  There are numerous platforms that we can deploy our app to. I like Fly.io since it very easy to deploy all over the world using the CLI, and it comes with good Docker support.

• esbuild

  98 35,403 9.7 Go

  An extremely fast bundler for the web

  Now that we have our production-ready app, let’s examine how Nx handles the build process using [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/).
