Lad is the best Node.js framework. Made by a former Express TC and Koa team member. Lad boasts dozens of features and is extremely configurable. These microservices are preconfigured for security, performance, and graceful reloading. Redis, sessions, flash toast, and modal SweetAlert2 messages (uses ioredis which has support for Cluster, Sentinel, and more). Koa-based web app and API servers. Pagination built-in (using ctx-paginate). RESTful API with BasicAuth and versioning. Automated job scheduler with cron and human-readable syntax (backed by Mongoose and Bree). Passport-based authentication and group-based (Unix-like) permissioning. Stripe-inspired error handling. Mongoose and MongoDB with common database plugins. Email template engine with Nodemailer and local rendering. The proxy eliminates the need for Nginx reverse-proxy or Apache virtual hosts. Multilingual through built-in i18n translation support (see configuration).
