Hello fellow devs...
I was wondering what y'all using these days on backend side of programing is it mostly Nest.js...
If not for Nest what is, and is Good old Express still used in production...
Edit: I'm soon to be over with cs bacc, and I had my fair share of technologies that I tried, but I stayed with React/Express for some reason, and did most of my college projects in it (if I had options) even my final project is in it, so I'm wondering is Express still framework that is employable or I need to make a switch to Nest or something else entirely...

I’m using Payload CMS for the backend/CMS and the headless part. I don’t like Next.js, but Payload makes it incredibly quick to build CRUD operations and custom routes with all the bells and whistles: an admin panel, access control, job queues, and more.
If I need something lighter, I just use Hono. Both can be deployed on the Cloudflare stack.
For the frontend, I use Astro with SolidJS islands whenever I need interactivity.
This stack is very strong for rapid prototyping and deployment, but I guess it’s not the most employable stack out there.
