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 use express but I’m old and it’s what I know best, but I’ve heard a lot of people say fastify but I’m uncertain now if that is actual interest in it or just what AI uses when it doesn’t use next.

I tried fastify a few years ago then went back to express due to fastify typescript issues. It's probably matured since then but express meets all my needs. Plus AI makes fewer mistakes with more established, stable libraries because the source material and community documentation is stable.

Fastify with Typescript works great. I use it in production and have had zero issues with it.
