Fastify

When throughput matters, Fastify is our pick: it routinely benchmarks among the fastest Node frameworks while making correctness easier, not harder. Schema-based validation is built into the core, so every route declares its contract and invalid payloads never reach your business logic.

Why we reach for it

  • Serious throughput — often multiples of Express on the same hardware
  • JSON Schema validation built in, blocking bad payloads at the door
  • Structured logging with Pino wired in from the first request
  • A disciplined plugin system that keeps large codebases modular
