• TypeORM

  156 33,287 9.0 TypeScript

  ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.

  

For ORMs, I like MikroORM when using Typescript. I'd avoid TypeORM as it's future is highly questionable at the moment, and I've always run into problems with it. Hard to go wrong with Knex, too, though I don't know how well it integrates with Typescript.

• Express

  674 63,771 8.3 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  

Is express still the go-to HTTP server? How are hapi and restify doing? Has koa ever really picked up? Is there any new cool stuff to watch out for (fastify, anyone)?

  Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.

  

How do you go to the database? Is Sequelize still alive? I heard TypeORM is cool now? Do you just go with knex the query builder or something DBMS-specific, such as mogodb client?

• InfluxDB

• PM2

  59 40,697 6.8 JavaScript

  Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

If you have multiple workers, how do you orchestrate them? node cluster directly? pm2? Single worker per machine with external orchestration?

• KeystoneJS

  56 8,848 9.4 TypeScript

  The most powerful headless CMS for Node.js — built with GraphQL and React

  

Are there any cool higher-level frameworks? I often find myself looking for a simple CRUD backend with a DB admin, and reach out for python. Is there anything django-level in the node world yet? Last time I checked, there was keystone, which has died and is getting a rewrite, I hear. Is there anything more?

• AdonisJs Framework

  23 15,417 9.3 TypeScript

  AdonisJS is a TypeScript-first web framework for building web apps and API servers. It comes with support for testing, modern tooling, an ecosystem of official packages, and more. (by adonisjs)

  

Give AdonisJS a try. The developer experience is a lot like Laravel, but slightly rougher around the edges. You should give Adonis 5.0 a try if you want support for TypeScript. It's still in "alpha" but I think it's stable enough. I think they're just waiting for feature parity to move it to "beta".

• MERN-template

  31 65 5.6 JavaScript

  A website template using the MERN stack. It is geared towards Persistent Browser Based Games (think neopets), but is flexible enough for a number of different uses.

  

I wrote this, and am currently using it for a game: https://github.com/krgamestudios/MERN-template

• feathers-vuex

  4 446 0.0 TypeScript

  Integration of FeathersJS, Vue, and Nuxt for the artisan developer

  

I am currently migrating to feathers with objection / knex in the backend and therefore switching to feathers-vuex So far I am pretty happy with the transition and the clean rewrite / service oriented structure from our "somehow grown" backend/frontend mess :-)

• feathers
