I understand that. But what makes it not suitable for today, and what libraries should I go for and what modern problems do they solve then? That's what I was just curious about.

Express is not that maintained. It can't even handle async/await (#4360) and you get an UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning (note that in the future this will crash your app, and it can cause memory leaks). And much more.

As for alternatives, you could try fastify or AdonisJS
