node-postgres
Non-blocking PostgreSQL client for Node.js with pure JavaScript and native libpq bindings.
cross-env
Cross-platform CLI for setting environment variables in npm scripts without worrying about Windows vs POSIX syntax.
concurrently
Run multiple terminal commands in parallel, with color-coded output and cross-platform support.
Chalk
The most popular Node.js library for styling terminal string output with ANSI colors.
Tokio
The async runtime powering most of Rust's networked, concurrent, and I/O-bound applications.
Commander.js
The complete, battle-tested framework for building Node.js command-line interfaces.
jsonwebtoken
The de facto Node.js library for signing, verifying, and decoding JSON Web Tokens.
rimraf
Cross-platform recursive file and directory removal for Node.js, modeled on the UNIX `rm -rf` command.

Pure Rust implementation of the SHA-2 hash function family (SHA-224/256/384/512) with hardware-accelerated backends.
pino-pretty
A CLI and stream that prettifies Pino's ndjson log lines into readable, colorized terminal output for local development.
RxJS
The standard library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences
