An efficient server implies a lower cost of the infrastructure, better
responsiveness under load, and happy users. How can you efficiently handle the
resources of your server, knowing that you are serving the highest number of
requests possible, without sacrificing security validations and handy
development?
Enter Fastify. Fastify is a web framework highly focused on providing the best
developer experience with the least overhead and a powerful plugin architecture.
It is inspired by Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the
fastest web frameworks in town.
The `main` branch refers to the Fastify `v5` release.
Check out the [`4.x` branch](https://github.com/fastify/fastify/tree/4.x) for `v4`.

### Quick start
Create a folder and make it your current working directory:
```sh
mkdir my-app
cd my-app
```
Generate a fastify project with `npm init`:
```sh
npm init fastify
```
Install dependencies:
```sh
npm i
```
To start the app in dev mode:
```sh
npm run dev
```
For production mode:
```sh
npm start
```
Under the hood `npm init` downloads and runs [Fastify
Create](https://github.com/fastify/create-fastify), which in turn uses the
generate functionality of [Fastify CLI](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-cli).
### Install
To install Fastify in an existing project as a dependency:
```sh
npm i fastify
```
### Example
```js
// Require the framework and instantiate it
// ESM
import Fastify from 'fastify'
const fastify = Fastify({
logger: true
})
// CommonJs
const fastify = require('fastify')({
logger: true
})
// Declare a route
fastify.get('/', (request, reply) => {
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
})
// Run the server!
fastify.listen({ port: 3000 }, (err, address) => {
if (err) throw err
// Server is now listening on ${address}
})
```
With async-await:
```js
// ESM
import Fastify from 'fastify'
const fastify = Fastify({
logger: true
})
// CommonJs
const fastify = require('fastify')({
logger: true
})
fastify.get('/', async (request, reply) => {
reply.type('application/json').code(200)
return { hello: 'world' }
})
fastify.listen({ port: 3000 }, (err, address) => {
if (err) throw err
// Server is now listening on ${address}
})
```

If you learn best by reading code, explore the official [demo](https://github.com/fastify/demo).
> ## Note
> `.listen` binds to the local host, `localhost`, interface by default
> (`127.0.0.1` or `::1`, depending on the operating system configuration). If
> you are running Fastify in a container (Docker,
> [GCP](https://cloud.google.com/), etc.), you may need to bind to `0.0.0.0`. Be
> careful when listening on all interfaces; it comes with inherent
> [security
> risks](https://web.archive.org/web/20170711105010/https://snyk.io/blog/mongodb-hack-and-secure-defaults/).
> See [the documentation](./docs/Reference/Server.md#listen) for more
> information.
### Core features
- **Highly performant:** as far as we know, Fastify is one of the fastest web
frameworks in town, depending on the code complexity we can serve up to 76+
thousand requests per second.
- **Extensible:** Fastify is fully extensible via its hooks, plugins, and
decorators.
- **Schema-based:** even if it is not mandatory we recommend using [JSON
Schema](https://json-schema.org/) to validate your routes and serialize your
outputs. Internally Fastify compiles the schema in a highly performant
function.
- **Logging:** logs are extremely important but are costly; we chose the best
logger to almost remove this cost, [Pino](https://github.com/pinojs/pino)!
- **Developer friendly:** the framework is built to be very expressive and help
developers in their daily use without sacrificing performance and
security.
### Benchmarks
__Machine:__ EX41S-SSD, Intel Core i7, 4Ghz, 64GB RAM, 4C/8T, SSD.
__Method:__: `autocannon -c 100 -d 40 -p 10 localhost:3000` * 2, taking the
second average
| Framework | Version | Router? | Requests/sec |
| :----------------- | :------------------------- | :----------: | ------------: |
| Express | 4.17.3 | ✓ | 14,200 |
| hapi | 20.2.1 | ✓ | 42,284 |
| Restify | 8.6.1 | ✓ | 50,363 |
| Koa | 2.13.0 | ✗ | 54,272 |
| **Fastify** | **4.0.0** | **✓** | **77,193** |
| - | | | |
| `http.Server` | 16.14.2 | ✗ | 74,513 |
These benchmarks taken using https://github.com/fastify/benchmarks. This is a
synthetic "hello world" benchmark that aims to evaluate the framework overhead.
The overhead that each framework has on your application depends on your
application. You should __always__ benchmark if performance matters to you.
