Fastify is a performance oriented back end web framework for Node.js, released as free and open-source software under an MIT License. Its development was inspired by Hapi and Express.[3]
As a lightweight alternative to other Node.js web API frameworks,[4][5] benchmarks reveal it to be significantly faster.[6]
History
[edit]Fastify was conceived by Matteo Collina while working at NearForm in 2015. Collina and Tomas Della Vedova created Fastify in September 2016.[1] According to the Fastify GitHub repository, the initial release, version 0.1.0, was on October 17, 2016.[7]
Building upon the technical foundations of Fastify, Collina and Luca Maraschi create Platformatic in 2022, to support a "batteries-included" developer experience for building APIs (REST/OpenAPI or GraphQL).[8][9]
Features
[edit]Core features include:
- Concentration on high-performance
- Extensibility
- JSON Schema validated routing
- Logging
- Developer friendly
- TypeScript ready
Popularity
[edit]Fastify is used by Capital One, Walmart, American Express[1] and others.[10]

A few months later, in June 2016, while delivering a Node.js training course at Avanscoperta in Bologna, an attendee asked me how to get started working in Open Source. His name was Tomas Della Vedova, and by the end of the course, I asked him if he wanted to build this Node.js framework with me. By September, we landed the first commit of what would later become Fastify.
