Welcome, Fastify v5
summary
Fastify v5 ships in September and targets Node 20+ while removing nine deprecations and adding Node diagnostic_channel for APM integration, claims near zero overhead in production and an ecosystem of 300+ plugins with 70 million downloads so far in 2024. Built-in pieces include the Pino logger, Fast JSON stringify for much faster serialization, inject-based testing without opening ports, autoloaded plugins, encapsulated plugin contexts, and a recommended graceful-shutdown pattern using close-with-grace.
