I need to create an API, but I don't know what framework to use. What would you choose, of you were me, and scalability is a quite important factor?

Project Reactor

However, if you really expect a lot of users (especially concurrent ones) to use your API, you should delve into the world of reactive programming. Use tools like RxJS (JS/TS) or Project Reactor (Java) in such a case, preferably in combination with a broker like Kafka or RabbitMQ. R2DBC is also great for a data store. Then of course if you want to go one step further, there also exists the less popular but very interesting Actor model which Akka easily has ported into Java.

Nest.js

Assuming you are going to construct a REST API, you can use NestJS. This framework integrates with the microservice pattern very well. Spring Boot is also a great and tested option.
