Survey: Which TypeScript Frameworks Are Used in Production in 2024
TypeScript continues to strengthen its position as the primary language for developing complex web applications. But which specific frameworks and libraries are developers choosing for real production projects? A recent survey conducted among members of professional communities (over 1,500 respondents, mainly from the USA, Europe, and Asia) provided clear answers. Let's break down the key results.
Overall Picture: Dominance of Next.js and Stability of Express
According to the survey results, Next.js has become the absolute leader among full-stack and frontend frameworks using TypeScript. It is used by 45% of respondents in production. The main reasons are built-in rendering (SSR/SSG), file-system based routing, and tight integration with the React ecosystem.
In second place is the classic Express.js (about 28%). Despite the lack of native TypeScript support in early versions, it remains the choice for microservices and APIs due to its simplicity and vast number of middleware. Developers actively use ts-node or compile the code before deployment.
Backend Frameworks: Rise of NestJS
In the backend TypeScript category, NestJS is confidently growing in popularity. According to the survey, its share in production is 22%. The architecture, inspired by Angular (modules, decorators, DI), makes it a preferred choice for enterprise applications and complex APIs. Fastify (often paired with NestJS) also showed growth — about 10%.
- Next.js — 45% (full-stack / frontend)
- Express.js — 28% (backend / API)
- NestJS — 22% (backend / enterprise)
- Fastify — 10% (backend / high-performance)
- Nuxt 3 — 8% (frontend / Vue)
- AdonisJS — 4% (full-stack Node.js)
Frontend: React Still Rules, But with a Caveat
When it comes to client-side libraries for TypeScript, React remains the undisputed king (over 60% of respondents use it in production). However, an interesting trend is that Solid.js and Svelte (with TypeScript) are starting to be used more actively in small projects and startups, although their share currently does not exceed 5-7%. Vue 3 with Composition API and TypeScript holds steady at around 12%.
What Does This Mean for Developers?
The survey results clearly show: for production projects using TypeScript, you should master at least Next.js (frontend/full-stack) and NestJS (backend). Don't discount classic Express either — it remains a reliable choice for simple server-side tasks. If you are just starting your TypeScript journey, begin with React + Next.js: this will give you maximum market demand.
