Stop Using Next.js API Routes (ElysiaJS Is Faster & Type-Safe)

For the longest time, I always used Next.js API routes, and to be quite honest with you, it was always enough. Well, at least I thought so. Recently, I started using ElysiaJS as my backend framework, and honestly, it's a game-changer. It's super fast: 20 times faster than Express, it's fully type-safe from server to client, it has complete type integrity, first-class OpenAPI support and I would honestly say it's the best JavaScript backend framework on the market right now. And since it's WinterTC-compliant, it even works on Vercel with Next.js running in the same server process, meaning we get an even faster application. 📸 Screen Recording Software: https://dub.sh/eDa47SO 🔒 My favorite Auth Solution: https://dub.sh/xeU8r3v 🌍 My Website: https://marshalcode.com/ 👋🏻 Discord:   / discord   ✅ Follow me on X: https://x.com/janmarshaldev 📧 Business ONLY: [email protected] Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:54 Elysia JS Speed (It's SUPER FAST) 02:50 Game Changing Features (e.g. Type Safety, OpenAPI, WinterTC etc.) 08:00 Defining Type-Safe API Endpoints 10:40 Complete Type Integrity (Schema is Source of Truth) 15:20 Converting TypeBox to Zod (Total Flexibility) 16:45 Implementing OpenAPI Support (Using Plugin) 20:00 OpenAPI from Types 22:00 Defining Private Endpoints with Macro 28:00 End-to-End Type Safety Using Eden (RPC-Like Client) 33:00 My Honest Thoughts
