Hi Richard.

The most common web framework for nodejs is Express It is very simple and easy to get started for basic routes.

Personally I find it's core to be too minimal and I prefer something more comprehensive hapi is my favorite node framework

and it comes with a lot of essential features  built in.

Both hapi and Express has large user base and a lot of plugins for extra features (express uses the term middleware for plugins though)

Since you mentioned firebase and I assume you need some minimal layer to access it you might wanna check GraphQL (I never personally used it).
GraphQL seem to be a hot trend now for designing api endpoints. It is a lot more flexible and powerful than traditional REST. 

Though you can use GraphQL with Express and hapi it Apollo is specifically designed to be used with GraphQL

Kind Regards,
Yoni
