​​This post is a write-up of how I learnt more about server-side web development with Node.js, and a brief comparison of writing a simple HTTP server using 3 different frameworks, Express, Koa.js and Hapi.js.

​​As we’ve seen in the previous parts of this series, servers can send HTTP headers to provide the client additional metadata around the response, besides sending the content that the client requested. Clients are then allowed to specify how a particular resource should be read, cached or secured.

​​Imagine being a backend developer who needs to implement sessions in an application: the first thing that comes to your mind is to issue a token to clients and ask them to send this token with their subsequent requests. From there onwards you are going to be able to identify clients based on the token included in their request.

​​After almost five years in development, the new HTTP/3 protocol is nearing its final form. Earlier iterations were already available as an experimental feature, but you can expect the availability and use of HTTP/3 proper to ramp up over in 2021. So what exactly is HTTP/3? Why was it needed so soon after HTTP/2? How can or should you use it? And especially, how does it improve web performance? Let’s find out.
