Benefits of Node.js
Speed and scalability
Fastify is designed from the ground up for speed, maintainability and developer experience. Its performance is unmatched, making it ideal for building highly scalable web applications.
Efficiency
Fastify is optimised for low overhead. This allows developers to create efficient applications without sacrificing performance or scalability.
Robust and secure applications
Fastify comes with built-in, schema-based validation and serialisation, allowing for data validation at the earliest stages of the request lifecycle. This leads to more robust and secure applications.
Custom solutions
Fastify is highly modular, with its plugin architecture allowing developers to find, integrate, and build features without excess bloat of unnecessary components. Its rich ecosystem of plugins allows developers to quickly extend and customise their web applications.
Easy maintenance
Fastify’s plugin architecture relies on well-defined interfaces between components. This promotes separation of concerns, leading to fewer bugs, efficient evolution and easier maintenance.
Great web server load management
Asynchronous programming is a fundamental feature of Fastify. This makes it an excellent choice for building APIs and services that require non-blocking I/O operations, and means it’s an efficient way of managing web server load.
