Fastify is a high-performance Node.js web framework known for its speed, efficiency, and scalability.
It offers features like high performance, scalability, schema-based validation, logging with Pino, and TypeScript compatibility.
Fastify addresses performance and efficiency issues prevalent in older frameworks like Express and Koa.
The framework ensures high performance through efficient routing, precompiled serialization, schema-driven development, optimized plugin system, and low-cost abstractions.
Installation and usage examples with npm installation, route declaration, and server running are demonstrated.
Components like plugins, decorators, middleware, and hooks play vital roles in Fastify's flexibility and scalability.
Understanding the execution order and interruption capabilities of these components helps build efficient Fastify applications.
JSON Schema validation in Fastify ensures strict validation of request data formats and response structures.
Hooks are used to handle login statuses, limit parameters, and ensure request validation in Fastify applications.
