In the world of building backend Node.js APIs, Fastify stands out with its plugin ecosystem and architecture approach, offering a compelling option beyond the conventional Express framework. This highly efficient, low-overhead web framework distinguishes itself through its remarkable speed and streamlined simplicity.

Access control in backend Node.js applications is fundamental to web applications built with the Express web framework.
