Completely Lost

Hi all,I'm probably considered a devil to you as I mostly develop in PHP, but in recent days I have had an idea for a project where I will need an API server to handle potentially thousands of API requests a second. My Studies have brought me over to NodeJS.In PHP land my preferred full stack framework is Laravel as I find it easy to use and quick enough for the projects I have been making. Now in the arrival in NodeJS land, I have several questions, because there seems to be an overwhelming amount of frameworks whether it be full-stack or not. I am a quick learner so I don't mind not using a full stack framework, recently I discovered AdonisJS but this brought questions, is it fast enough? should I look at using something like LoopBack with React/Angular? Express with React/Angular? or stick with AdonisJS?​Some side-notes; I prefer using MySQL, I can use Redis if need be, I don't mind if it's JavaScript or TypeScript. If full stack has to be able to have HTML/XML no PUG/Jade. If there is a framework you'd like to suggest could you tell me how long you've worked with it for. Off-limits: SailsJS (I've had a hard time liking it).So far I have tried Adonis I like it because as previously stated; the laravel-esque architecture, but I've also tried loopback, got scared off loopback as I read that it can be a pain to work with but not sure how accurate it is.​Sorry if this question has been answered before, I've tried scouring google and go overwhelmed with all the either nearly outdated posts (as Javascript moves faster than an Formula 1 car) or Too many options.
