Fastify is excellent

[jessekrubin]

No bug to report. Just wanted to say fastify is excellent.

I know fastify is super performant, but even if it were not it would still be exceptional.

This issue should stay open forever

I discovered the fastify yesterday and I really liked the way that it handle errors. I always have to rebuild the default error handler of the frameworks that I use (java-spring, node-express, and others). This is the first time I read the doc, tested some exceptions and flows and I did have no adjust to do. The plugin concept, testing strategy and benchmark tools are also so interesting! Congratulations to you all! Fastify is a amazing piece of enginheering.

Thanks for your feedback @rdsedmundo - all those points you mentions have fundamental reason on why they are done in that way. They are a few of the key reason Fastify exists.

I would recommend you to open issues in the help repo in case you need help or you would like to debate those further: we should certainly improve the docs and knowing more about your use case is important. Anyway, I'm going to hide your comment as wildly off topic for this issue.

coming from express --to--> fastify
still reminds me of stepping from apache --to--> nginx

I agree ! , Just provide , pleased , more samples about Fastify contribution to microservicies scenarios. I feel/guess that this framework has a huge potential in helping on migration processes from monolithic into micros . Thanks for all your effort , @mcollina @delvedor @marcobiraghi

Just wanted to say I agree 100%. This is such a great example of a community-driven project that I've been spending the last few weeks learning the inner workings of Fastify so that I can start contributing ASAP. Thank you!

I also love fastify, can anybody tell me how it's so fast ?

[ghost]

@soulsam480 I think it is a combination of things, it is built performance "in mind", it is fast, plus its whole ecosystem. I think for the simplest API level, it avoids JSON.stringify which most other frameworks find themselves doing to deliver a response. It does Stringify objects somehow (I don't know how, based on keys and types ?),
Plus, logging is taking care of, plugins could be registered at app level, route level but also a chosen list of routes level (encapsulation).
I know I am aware of these which are some of Fastify options to perform better, you should check docs and videos about it.
Note that this is my understanding and I'm using it as a "black-box", so maybe not 100% accurate.

I am learning fastify rn and I love it! It is cleaner than express!
