  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Hapi

    The Simple, Secure Framework Developers Trust

    Opinionated frameworks usually come with a lot of boilerplate. It makes sense since that's a way of imposing their logic on you. I second Adonis.js suggested by u/pixels0 and would also recommend Hapi.

  • Prisma

    Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB

    Prisma for ORM Postgres DB (great TS support). And Passport for any auth. I use these in all my projects and they're fantastic to work with.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Passport

    Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js.

    Prisma for ORM Postgres DB (great TS support). And Passport for any auth. I use these in all my projects and they're fantastic to work with.

  • (Also: Personally love Massive.js for my PSQL dealings)

  • fastify

    Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

    Laravel doesn't ask you to configure every little thing yourself. Node frameworks go to a level, where they even ask you to configure a custom query string parser. https://github.com/fastify/fastify/issues/2841

  • 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.
