🚀 Introducing MoroJS: A TypeScript-First API Framework Faster Than Express & Fastify

If you’ve ever built an API with Express or Fastify, you know the drill: boilerplate, validation, middleware juggling, and debugging at scale. They work, but they weren’t designed for today’s TypeScript-first, serverless-heavy world.

That’s why we built MoroJS — a new backend framework that combines speed, type safety, and extensibility into one package.

⚡ Performance That Speaks for Itself

Benchmarks don’t lie:

Hello World: ~68,392 req/sec (about 47% faster than Fastify)
Real APIs: ~52,992 req/sec for GET and ~37,863 req/sec for POST + validation
Latency: ~4–6ms even under load

🛠 Built for Developers

What makes MoroJS stand out:

TypeScript-first → full type safety, no guessing at runtime
Serverless-ready → works seamlessly with Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, and Vercel
Batteries included → validation, middleware, caching, and rate-limiting out of the box
🔥 CLI → scaffold projects in seconds

# create a new MoroJS project
npx create-moro-app my-api
cd my-api
npm run dev

🧩 The Long Game: MoroJS Modules

The vision goes beyond just a framework. We’re building a modules directory — an ecosystem where you can plug in everything from auth to payments to analytics without reinventing the wheel.

Think of it like an app store for APIs.
