> Fastest Bun-native backend framework
> Type safety to the very limit, everything is type safe
> Prioritize on delightful developer experiences
> Multi-runtime: Bun, Node, Deno, Cloudflare Worker
> Minimal boilerplate, no ceremony, straight to logic
> Use your own validation library: TypeBox, Zod, Valibot
> Type-safe RPC-like contract like tRPC / Hono
> Easiest OpenAPI documentation of all JS frameworks
> Turns TypeScript type to OpenAPI (unique feature)
> OpenTelemetry and observability are built in
> Familiar syntax but with strong type safety
> Fully extensible with a fully type-safe API
> WebSocket, Server-Sent Event, Response Streaming
> Static Code Analysis, and JIT-compilation for speed
> Performance is near that level of Golang/Rust
> WinterTC compliance
> Can gradually migrate from Hono, Nitro or vice-versa
> No ceremony, no server required for running unit tests
> Support Bun Fullstack Dev Server (eg. React)
> The only framework that leverages most Bun APIs
> Can compile to a single binary using Bun
> Run in metaframework: Next, Nuxt, Tanstack Start
> Can even run directly inside your browser
> Deploys on Vercel, Cloudflare Worker, Docker, etc.

I've been working on contract jobs with Node for 5 years with Express, Fastify, Nest, Koa, Feather, Sails, Adonis
Elysia is designed to solve all of the issues I had with every framework I used for 5 years of Node freelancing
We don't have a company to back us like others
Elysia is run by volunteers and is completely open-source
We genuinely want a better future for JS/TS backend
The only thing we are missing is your voice
