Node.js Frameworks, or There and Back Again
summary
A developer compares Node.js approaches used in enterprise projects—Express, Nest.js, and AWS Lambda/FaaS—examining their pros and cons and the trade-offs when choosing a framework for a new application. The talk evaluates whether Express should be abandoned, how well Nest.js lives up to its claims, and when serverless (AWS Lambda) is a better fit.
