I was recently recommended trying Fastify instead of Express.js. Being a little suspicious at first, I went to read about it.
Turns out this newer library outshines Express with its superior performance and flexibility.
Here's a snapshot of their benchmark showdown:
| Framework | Requests/Sec | 99th Percentile Latency | Total Requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express.js | 20,000 | 1 ms | 221,000 |
| Fastify | 50,000 | <1 ms | -- |
| Express + MongoDB | 6,500 | 3 ms | 70,000 |
| Fastify + MongoDB | 8,800 | 2 ms | 86,000 |

Fastify's advanced performance is attributed to its efficient architecture and the fast-json-stringify library.
We want to use Fastify with WebCrumbs!

By the way, I'm part of the WebCrumbs team, and it would mean a lot if you could check out our no-code solution for Node.js that simplifies web development. Giving us a star would be fantastic.
We're putting in a ton of effort to help devs take their ideas to a live website as quickly and easily as possible (think: effortless plugin and theme integration), and every bit of support is truly appreciated!
