Introduction
Zely is a node.js backend framework inspired by next. This project aims to be the lightest Nodejs backend framework.
Zely is running on zept which was made for speed and weight. It also uses esbuild to reduce compile time.
Why you made it?
The current nodejs backend library/framework has the problems:
Too slow
For example, if you simply want to create an express server which outputs Hello World using typescript. Then you have to install some dependencies, write the code, and use tsc to convert the .ts file to the .js file and run it.
This process is really complicated compared to the results. Also, compiling with js takes a lot of time. (Although using a quick bundleer such as esbuild will solve it)
Annoying to set routing
Taking express as an example again, I want to create an sns backend system, but the more requests are received through routes such as /post/* and /user/*, the more cumbersome it is to set up routing.
Solution
Zely solves these problems. It has many features such as file based routing, fastest server, etc.
