Design decisions

Why ... ?

• esm ? Since node still doesn't support ECMAScript modules without --experimental-modules flag using esm was necessary to avoid .mjs file extension. When node starts supporting modules removing -r esm from package.json start script is all that's needed.
• fastify ? Speed.
