Show HN: UltimateExpress – 5x faster HTTP server with full Express compatibility

[dimden]

For the past few weeks I've been working on Ultimate Express - https://github.com/dimdenGD/ultimate-express

It's complete reimplementation of Express, with support for all APIs, except built on top of uWebSockets. It's the only library that fully implements Express' API while using uWS.

It's about 5 times faster than Express. Please check Github for more benchmark info. I have started replacing Express with this library in my projects and performance improved by 1.5-4 times depending on route. In 1 case file serving throughput increased from 230 MB/sec to 800 MB/sec.

Please keep in mind that it's a very new library and there could be bugs. Always test your application after switching!
