Fastify
Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

Fastify is a high-performance Node.js web framework focused on developer experience and minimal overhead, capable of handling up to 30,000 requests per second. It features a powerful plugin architecture, JSON Schema-based validation, integrated logging via Pino, and full TypeScript support. Inspired by Hapi and Express, it is designed to be extensible through hooks, plugins, and decorators.
Fastify provides a plugin-based web framework installed via npm that routes HTTP requests, validates input/output with JSON Schema, and logs with Pino for minimal performance overhead.
