An efficient server implies a lower cost of the infrastructure, a better responsiveness under load and happy users. How can you efficiently handle the resources of your server, knowing that you are serving the highest number of requests as possible, without sacrificing security validations and handy development? Enter Fastify. Fastify is a web framework highly focused on providing the best developer experience with the least overhead and a powerful plugin architecture. It is inspired by Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the fastest web frameworks in town. The `main` branch refers to the Fastify `v4` release. Check out the [`v3.x` branch](https://github.com/fastify/fastify/tree/3.x) for `v3`. ### Table of Contents - [Quick start](#quick-start) - [Install](#install) - [Example](#example) - [Fastify v1.x and v2.x](#fastify-v1x-and-v2x) - [Core features](#core-features) - [Benchmarks](#benchmarks) - [Documentation](#documentation) - [Ecosystem](#ecosystem) - [Support](#support) - [Team](#team) - [Hosted by](#hosted-by) - [License](#license) ### Quick start Create a folder and make it your current working directory: ```sh mkdir my-app cd my-app ``` Generate a fastify project with `npm init`: ```sh npm init fastify ``` Install dependencies: ```sh npm i ``` To start the app in dev mode: ```sh npm run dev ``` For production mode: ```sh npm start ``` Under the hood `npm init` downloads and runs [Fastify Create](https://github.com/fastify/create-fastify), which in turn uses the generate functionality of [Fastify CLI](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-cli). ### Install To install Fastify in an existing project as a dependency: Install with npm: ```sh npm i fastify ``` Install with yarn: ```sh yarn add fastify ``` ### Example ```js // Require the framework and instantiate it // ESM import Fastify from 'fastify' const fastify = Fastify({ logger: true }) // CommonJs const fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: true }) // Declare a route fastify.get('/', (request, reply) => { reply.send({ hello: 'world' }) }) // Run the server! fastify.listen({ port: 3000 }, (err, address) => { if (err) throw err // Server is now listening on ${address} }) ``` with async-await: ```js // ESM import Fastify from 'fastify' const fastify = Fastify({ logger: true }) // CommonJs const fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: true }) fastify.get('/', async (request, reply) => { reply.type('application/json').code(200) return { hello: 'world' } }) fastify.listen({ port: 3000 }, (err, address) => { if (err) throw err // Server is now listening on ${address} }) ``` Do you want to know more? Head to the Getting Started. > ## Note > `.listen` binds to the local host, `localhost`, interface by default > (`127.0.0.1` or `::1`, depending on the operating system configuration). If > you are running Fastify in a container (Docker, > [GCP](https://cloud.google.com/), etc.), you may need to bind to `0.0.0.0`. Be > careful when deciding to listen on all interfaces; it comes with inherent > [security > risks](https://web.archive.org/web/20170711105010/https://snyk.io/blog/mongodb-hack-and-secure-defaults/). > See [the documentation](./docs/Reference/Server.md#listen) for more > information. ### Core features - **Highly performant:** as far as we know, Fastify is one of the fastest web frameworks in town, depending on the code complexity we can serve up to 76+ thousand requests per second. - **Extensible:** Fastify is fully extensible via its hooks, plugins and decorators. - **Schema based:** even if it is not mandatory we recommend to use [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) to validate your routes and serialize your outputs, internally Fastify compiles the schema in a highly performant function. - **Logging:** logs are extremely important but are costly; we chose the best logger to almost remove this cost, [Pino](https://github.com/pinojs/pino)! - **Developer friendly:** the framework is built to be very expressive and help the developer in their daily use, without sacrificing performance and security. ### Benchmarks __Machine:__ EX41S-SSD, Intel Core i7, 4Ghz, 64GB RAM, 4C/8T, SSD. __Method:__: `autocannon -c 100 -d 40 -p 10 localhost:3000` * 2, taking the second average | Framework | Version | Router? | Requests/sec | | :----------------- | :------------------------- | :----------: | ------------: | | Express | 4.17.3 | ✓ | 14,200 | | hapi | 20.2.1 | ✓ | 42,284 | | Restify | 8.6.1 | ✓ | 50,363 | | Koa | 2.13.0 | ✗ | 54,272 | | **Fastify** | **4.0.0** | **✓** | **77,193** | | - | | | | | `http.Server` | 16.14.2 | ✗ | 74,513 | Benchmarks taken using https://github.com/fastify/benchmarks. This is a synthetic, "hello world" benchmark that aims to evaluate the framework overhead. The overhead that each framework has on your application depends on your application, you should __always__ benchmark if performance matters to you. ## Documentation * [__`Getting Started`__](./docs/Guides/Getting-Started.md) * [__`Guides`__](./docs/Guides/Index.md) * [__`Server`__](./docs/Reference/Server.md) * [__`Routes`__](./docs/Reference/Routes.md) * [__`Encapsulation`__](./docs/Reference/Encapsulation.md) * [__`Logging`__](./docs/Reference/Logging.md) * [__`Middleware`__](./docs/Reference/Middleware.md) * [__`Hooks`__](./docs/Reference/Hooks.md) * [__`Decorators`__](./docs/Reference/Decorators.md) * [__`Validation and Serialization`__](./docs/Reference/Validation-and-Serialization.md) * [__`Fluent Schema`__](./docs/Guides/Fluent-Schema.md) * [__`Lifecycle`__](./docs/Reference/Lifecycle.md) * [__`Reply`__](./docs/Reference/Reply.md) * [__`Request`__](./docs/Reference/Request.md) * [__`Errors`__](./docs/Reference/Errors.md) * [__`Content Type Parser`__](./docs/Reference/ContentTypeParser.md) * [__`Plugins`__](./docs/Reference/Plugins.md) * [__`Testing`__](./docs/Guides/Testing.md) * [__`Benchmarking`__](./docs/Guides/Benchmarking.md) * [__`How to write a good plugin`__](./docs/Guides/Write-Plugin.md) * [__`Plugins Guide`__](./docs/Guides/Plugins-Guide.md) * [__`HTTP2`__](./docs/Reference/HTTP2.md) * [__`Long Term Support`__](./docs/Reference/LTS.md) * [__`TypeScript and types support`__](./docs/Reference/TypeScript.md) * [__`Serverless`__](./docs/Guides/Serverless.md) * [__`Recommendations`__](./docs/Guides/Recommendations.md) 中文文档[地址](https://github.com/fastify/docs-chinese/blob/HEAD/README.md) ## Ecosystem - [Core](./docs/Guides/Ecosystem.md#core) - Core plugins maintained by the _Fastify_ [team](#team). - [Community](./docs/Guides/Ecosystem.md#community) - Community supported plugins. - [Live Examples](https://github.com/fastify/example) - Multirepo with a broad set of real working examples. - [Discord](https://discord.gg/D3FZYPy) - Join our discord server and chat with the maintainers. ## Support Please visit [Fastify help](https://github.com/fastify/help) to view prior support issues and to ask new support questions. ## Contributing Whether reporting bugs, discussing improvements and new ideas or writing code, we welcome contributions from anyone and everyone.
