Alternatives to :

[**Koa**](koajs.com/), which can either [replace or complement](github.com/koajs/koa/blob/mast) both Express and [Connect](github.com/senchalabs/connect).

[**Fastify**](fastify.io/), which looks straightforward and very similar to Express. Plugin for templating (supporting Handlebars, Mustache, Pug and EJS): [@fastify/view](github.com/fastify/point-of-vi).

[**NestJS**](nestjs.com/), which seems too convoluted and probably redundant since it works on top of either Express or Fastify (?).

[**Meteor**](meteor.com/): more of a platform. No tutorial for vanilla JS (only for React, Vue, etc), and not oriented towards SSR.

I'll probably go for or .
