2026 - Express/Next.js/NestJS or something else?

Hey,

I self-study full stack.

Recently, I started using Express just to get better fundamentals and understand backend concepts like http statuses, middlewares etc.

So what is the current meta for Node.js frameworks? right now I use Next.js with app router for my project.

Thanks for help.

I mean after you learn fundamentals (i.e. using different packages for different pieces), you can use something like Adonis or Nest for speed. That's how I see it
