I've recently joined a new company where we would like to move from the currently existing solution that was developed by a contracting agency to an in-house one. The current solution was made with Nest.js through this template and spans 5 codebases for different APIs. I would imagine that the developers responsible for it were just given additional stuff for the past year and just decided to spin up a new environment for each feature.
Ts.ED - Controller-based (DI supporting) backend framework that seems to offer quite a lot (although I'm wary of it being quite close to Nest.js)
HatTip - supports universal middleware and deployments, small & lightweight, seems promising
Also for DB connections, I've been looking into Drizzle ORM, as I've used Prisma in the past and loved it, but there's a huge overhead to remember with it, so with a new project I'm thinking it might be better without that overhead. Current DB of choice is Postgres and that's probably going to stay the same.
Hono.js - lightweight, support modern deployments and a lot out of the box
Feathers.js - fully fledged backend framework, with almost anything out of the box
Currently i am using TSOA and loving it, it gives you automatic Open API specs and data validation based on typescript interfaces. I have used Nest on previous projects but I personally don't like the decorators hell that comes with Nest, and raw express/fastify are ok and easy to use but a pain in the ass on big projects to keep swagger, validations, interfaces and DTOs all in sync.
