Powered by the Bleeding Edge

We curated the fastest tools in the Node.js ecosystem so you don't have to. No legacy bloat, just raw performance.

HyperExpress

Built on uWebSockets.js. Outperforms Express.js by 11x and handles high concurrency effortlessly.

Svelte 5

The latest evolution of UI. Write concise code with Runes, smaller bundles, and fine-grained reactivity.

Inertia.js

The Modern Monolith. Build Single Page Apps (SPA) without the complexity of client-side routing.

BetterSQLite3

Embedded DB with WAL Mode enabled. Lightning-fast reads and writes without network overhead.

Unfairly Fast.

We benchmarked Laju against the giants on a Mac M4. The results aren't even close.

Express.js	22,590	26.36ms	11.45x Slower
Laravel	80	128.72ms	3,232x Slower

Benchmarks run on Mac M4, 12 threads, 400 concurrent connections.

WAL Mode Enabled

Database Writes at Warp Speed.

Laju configures BetterSQLite3 with Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) out of the box. No more "database locked" errors during high concurrency.

19.9x Faster Writes

WAL mode handles 93,287 ops/sec vs 4,678 ops/sec in default journaling.

Non-Blocking Concurrency

Reads and writes happen simultaneously. Your app stays responsive under load.

Hybrid Flexibility

Use Knex.js for complex queries or the Native Driver for raw speed (290k ops/sec reads).

Single Insert Operations (Ops/Sec)

Clean Syntax. Full Control.

Enjoy the simplicity of a monolith architecture with the power of a modern frontend. Server-side Logic meets Client-side Reactivity.
