JAWS vs Spring Framework: What are the differences?
What is JAWS? Javascript + AWS Stack – A server-free, webapp boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services. The Javascript + AWS Stack – A server-free, webapp boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services that redefine how to build massively scalable web applications.
What is Spring Framework? An application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. It provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform
The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform..
JAWS and Spring Framework belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by JAWS are:
- Use No Servers: Never deal with scaling/deploying/maintaing/monitoring servers again.
- Isolated Components: The JAWS back-end is comprised entirely of AWS Lambda Functions.
- Scale Infinitely: A back-end comprised of Lambda functions comes with a ton of concurrency and you can easily enable multi-region redundancy.
On the other hand, Spring Framework provides the following key features:
- Lightweight
- Dependency Injection
- Transaction Management
JAWS and Spring Framework are both open source tools. It seems that JAWS with 30.9K GitHub stars and 3.43K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Spring Framework with 30.6K GitHub stars and 19.6K GitHub forks.
