Backend Frameworks

Express/NestJS/Fastify — for the parts of the stack that aren't FastAPI.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Even though Localz's API is FastAPI, Node backend fluency stays relevant for BFF layers, webhooks, or future services.

When to use this

Building a lightweight Node service (webhook receiver, edge function) where spinning up FastAPI doesn't make sense.

How to use or implement this

Fastify for performance-sensitive services, NestJS when you want FastAPI-like structure/DI in Node.
