Egg.js is a Node.js web framework built on Koa that provides a full‑stack solution for enterprise applications. It offers a powerful plugin system, built‑in process management, and extensive configuration options.

Use cases

• build large‑scale enterprise web applications with Node.js
• create RESTful APIs and microservices using Koa conventions
• develop server‑side rendered pages with built‑in view plugins
• integrate databases, ORM, and caching via community plugins
• set up real‑time communication with WebSocket or Socket.io plugins
• rapidly scaffold projects with the Egg CLI for fast onboarding

When to choose

• You need a highly extensible framework with a mature plugin ecosystem.
• Your project targets enterprise environments requiring robust process management and configuration.
• You prefer convention‑over‑configuration but still want deep customization capabilities.
• You are already using Node.js and want a Koa‑based foundation with TypeScript support.

When to avoid

• You prefer a minimalistic framework with very low overhead.
• Your application is a simple static site or front‑end only project.
• You need out‑of‑the‑box support for languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript.
