Not sure "competitor" is the right word, but I started to work on my own boilerplate/project-starter some time ago[0]. I choose to use NestJS, knex and NextJS. My objective is to achieve the best tradeoffs between autogenerated-boring-stuff and easily-customize-everything (yes, including complex DB queries, especially those actually).

Also, there's BlitzJS which seems to have similar objectives.

There's definitely no incumbent in the Js/ts/nodejs world similar to the django/laravel/rails/mojolicious frameworks in the other, more mature, dynamic languages.
