Author's Note

While Node.js is undeniably powerful, its available frameworks and ecosystem often lead developers to focus solely on building the application, neglecting considerations for long-term maintainability and code cleanliness. The resulting codebase can be challenging for new team members to grasp.

In contrast, ecosystems like Java and C# offer robust frameworks that facilitate the creation of more maintainable applications. These ecosystems enable new employees to work on the product with relative ease, even without an in-depth understanding of the entire codebase.

Fort.js aims to address this issue by leveraging modern JavaScript and TypeScript. It provides simple APIs and adopts the Fort architecture, which promotes modularity through components without compromising performance (reportedly 3 times faster than Express.js).
