I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.

Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.

Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

I've never used Hapi, but I followed the process when Walmart wanted to discontinue the project. Unfortunately, even though it's quite an interesting backend framework, I don't see the need to use it with the existence of other solutions.
