I started building a web app to solve a certain problem of mine and I'm stuck at setting up a backend server.

NestJS I know reasonably well, but it comes with too many 'enterprise' features I'll never need.

Fastify requires a bit of initial setup (I'd love to use it with TypeScript) and reimplementing a lot of essential features and all I want to do is a JSON API.

Same with Express + it's been years since I last touched it.

Any custom boilerplate based on either of the above comes with extra cruft I won't need.

I feel so rusty and I don't know where to go.

@lukem i would start with whatever has less friction for you. NestJS is a reasonable choice imo
