What to Look for in a Node JS framework

Scalability

Node.js web frameworks provide a defined structure for a codebase. In the long run, they decide what characteristics your product will have, how the app will process the data, and handle computing. You want a framework that isn’t too opinionated — it shouldn’t limit you in possible ways of executing the project. If the framework boxes you one method, it definitely is not good enough.


On the other hand, you want to be able to use packages, Node.js libraries, and reusable code frameworks. This is where the ecosystem comes in. You want a framework with an actively contributing community, educational materials, and the one used across many industries.


Functionality

If you define quality standards for your Node JS frameworks selection early on, you’ll have an easier time narrowing down the options. 


Support of declarative programming: such programming describes the platform saved by a feature and its solution. We prefer the frameworks that support declarative metadata describing the parameters and middleware of Node.js handlers.


Cluster management: it’s nice when a framework allows organizing, previewing, editing, and managing clusters, as well as sorting them by their characteristics.


Middleware support: middleware is software that helps developers improve their application’s performance, security, etc. It’s not a framework, but it can be integrated. Middleware helps to optimize your application functionality and to deliver a better experience.


Batch support: not all frameworks are equally good at handling multiple background processes simultaneously. We prefer frameworks that let us access the same databases and APIs caches, regardless if they are currently running. This allows us to get many things done as soon as possible.
