Which framework to choose for Node.js in 2019?

Question

Node.js

I have a desire in the style: "I want a pyrfomans"
Express is praised everywhere, although Koa is more modern and faster, but still I want something less mainstream, for example: Total, Adonis, etc.
But the self-contradictory information in the tyrnet is somewhat confusing confusingly (eg: Total or Express is faster than each other)
Actually, as I already said, I need the most productive framework in general, but also not meager in terms of functionality
P.S. I hoped to hear the opinions of people who are really versed in node.js frameworks, with brief descriptions of the framework they proposed and advantages over analogues and indications of errors in my understanding of something, and not toxic "experts" blazing, directly or indirectly, from incorrect (according to their level of knowledge) wording of the question

Answer 1

Nest.js

Answer 2

I think that the node should be only a frontend, stupidly like SSR and work with small things that gives VUE, React, etc.
And the backend is already normal, php, etc. which communicates with the frontend (node ​​ala SSR), and the client via ajax using the API

Answer 3
