Micro

Node.js library and command-line server for asynchronous HTTP microservices, where a module exports one function that handles each request.

Micro is a Node.js library for asynchronous HTTP microservices. A module exports one function that receives each request and returns the response, and the micro command starts that module as a server. It is installed with npm and maintained by Vercel, Inc.

Worth knowing

The readme says Micro was created for use within containers and is not intended for use in serverless environments. It names micro-dev as the tool for development, since Micro itself is meant for production.
