Fastify is a performance-oriented backend web framework for Node.js, released as free and open-source software under an MIT License. Its development was inspired by Hapi and Express.[2]

As a lightweight alternative to other Node.js web API frameworks,[3][4] benchmarks reveal it to be significantly faster.[5] In 2023, Accelerating Server-Side Development with Fastify, a comprehensive guide authored by Fastify core contributors, was published.[6]

History

Fastify was conceived by Matteo Collina while working at NearForm in 2015. Collina and Tomas Della Vedova created Fastify in September 2016.[1] According to GitHub, the initial release of Fastify was version 0.1.0 on October 17, 2016.[7]

Building upon the technical foundations of Fastify, Collina and Luca Maraschi created Platformatic in 2022, to support a "batteries-included" developer experience for building APIs (REST/OpenAPI or GraphQL).[8][9]

Features

Core features include:

  • Concentration on high-performance
  • Extensibility
  • JSON Schema validated routing
  • Logging
  • Developer friendly
  • TypeScript ready

Popularity

Fastify is used by Capital One, Walmart, American Express[1] and others.[10]
