Payload 2.0: A Headless CMS Platform Built on Node — There’s much to like about Payload if you need a Node-based headless CMS, including a customizable React-based admin system, GraphQL or REST APIs, flexible auth and file upload systems, etc. Enough features to “feel more like an app framework akin to Laravel,” says James. v2.0 introduces Postgres support (it was exclusively using MongoDB before), Vite support, an all new rich text editor, and more. GitHub repo.

In short: Node stands up fine, but you'd want to benchmark something more elaborate than this in reality.

Termost: Another CLI App Framework — You don’t need a framework to create CLI apps with Node, but if you want things like options parsing, colorful output, and a help system out of the box, systems like Commander.js and oclif can be handy. Termost offers another option focused around a fluent/chainable API approach, first class TypeScript support, and a lighter touch.
