Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Simple route definition with handlers that accept params, request methods, catch all, or more complex route rules. Includes middleware support, a storage layer for abstracting data storage, and a cache API. Handles static assets. It powers the Nuxt framework so is proven in production. Deployment adapters for Edge, Node, Bun, Deno, and lots of platforms.

Tradeoffs

Great for full stack web applications, but JS is probably not the best choice for a web server in performance-sensitive scenarios.
