Motivation

HyperExpress aims to be a simple yet performant HTTP & Websocket Server. Combined with the power of uWebsockets.js, a Node.js binding of uSockets written in C++, HyperExpress allows developers to unlock higher throughput for their web applications with their existing hardware. This can allow many web applications to become much more performant on optimized data serving endpoints without having to scale hardware.

Some of the prominent highlights are:

See > [Benchmarks] for performance metrics against other webservers in real world deployments.
