A world of Rest APIs ... from Restify to a faster Fastify
summary
Migrating a Node.js REST API platform from Restify to Fastify yields concrete gains: profiling with flamegraph and 0x identifies the REST endpoints as the CPU hotspot; benchmarking with autocannon shows 366→468 rps (≈22%) after switching handlers and enabling fast-json-stringify with JSON Schema; adding Fastify’s HTTP proxy plugin raises throughput to ≈700 rps (≈50%). System is NetCTI over Asterisk PBX, tests run on single‑core VMs and DigitalOcean; code stays simpler and modular.
