Hey everyone, I’m curious about your favorite backend frameworks. There are so many options out there, and I’m trying to decide which one to focus on for my next project. I’ve heard good things about Spring Boot, but I’m also interested in newer options like Ktor or Quarkus. And then there’s Vert.x, which seems pretty powerful too. What do you use in your work or personal projects? What are the pros and cons you’ve found? I’d love to hear about your experiences and why you chose your preferred framework. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!
ooh, have you tried Flask? its super lightweight and fun to work with! i love how flexible it is for small to medium projects. whats your main focus - speed, scalability, or ease of use? have you considered any python frameworks? curious to hear what features matter most to you!
I’ve had great success with Node.js and Express for server-side development. The non-blocking, event-driven architecture allows for excellent performance, especially for I/O-heavy applications. The vast npm ecosystem provides libraries for almost any functionality you might need. One major advantage is using JavaScript on both frontend and backend, streamlining development. However, it’s worth noting that the asynchronous programming model can have a steeper learning curve for developers accustomed to traditional synchronous paradigms. Overall, I find the flexibility and scalability of Node.js/Express to be unmatched for many types of projects.
i’ve been using django for a while now and its been great for me. easy to learn, tons of libraries available, and the orm is handy. plus the admin interface saves so much time. its not the fastest out there but for most projects its more than good enough
