For beginners who are migrating from frontend to backend or from other language like python, expressjs seems to be easiest for them in terms learning curve and complexity.

I see moleculer is very lightweight and it brings the single-component approach for writing services, which is even easier for someone working on frontend before, with plain expressjs where we have to put many things into it:

  • Request validation
  • Documentation
  • Events
  • Logger
  • Database context
  • Security ...

But yes I agree expressjs is a good place to start.
