#Introduction
Zely is a minimalist Node.js backend framework influenced by Next.js. It aims to streamline backend development while being the fastest and lightest solution available.
Under the hood, Zely uses own engine for its lightweight and high-performance server capabilities, and esbuild to optimize compile times and runtime efficiency.
#Why Zely?
Challenges
- Development Bottlenecks
Setting up a simple server in TypeScript involves multiple steps:
installing dependencies, writing code, compiling .ts files to .js, and then running the server.
This process is time-consuming and inefficient.
- Cumbersome Routing
Managing routes in traditional frameworks becomes increasingly complex as the number of endpoints grows (e.g., /post/*, /user/*).
Solution
- Simplified Workflow
Zely removes the hassle of manual setup by integrating everything into a single framework.
- Optimized Routing
With file-based routing, Zely minimizes the need for explicit configuration.
- Unpredicable Speed
Zely ensures your development experience is fast.
