LoopBack Integrations
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose LoopBack in their tech stack.
Need suggestions on backend selection between LoopBack and Strapi, We are considering creating a CRM for our needs and don't want any limitations in the future.
We have an existing (Apis only) Rails backend, that by default follows the MVC pattern, (at peaks of 700 requests a second). I am tasked with making the same (read-heavy) application in any JavaScript framework. I was advised to follow the MVC structure. So I am considering these 3 ( Sails.js, LoopBack, NestJS). I get that sails is closest to rails, but that's not particularly a priority.
Most of the backend components built with Moleculer which gives us great flexibility to scale and isolate modules.
The best feature in LoopBack is written in TypeScript and super organized but not MicroServices by design.
We inherited this project and the backend is using LoopBack v3. I haven't taken a look at Loopback.io v4, but I'm planning to replace it. The reason being is that Loopback v3 documentation is a bit confusing and we are having trouble packaging the build using Webpack. Not to mention, integrating unit tests (latest Jest).
I still think Loopback is a great tool, but their documentation is really "messy" and hard to navigate through. There's also a constraint of time from our side. So what's the best option out there?
Should I try upgrading to Loopback v4, or trying other stuff? (i.e. NestJS)
Thanks!
We undertook the task of building a manufacturing ERP for small branded manufacturers. We needed to build a lot, fast with a small team, and have clear focus on product delivery. We chose JavaScript / Node.js ( React + LoopBack full stack) , Heroku and Heroku Postgres (also Heroku Redis ) . This decision has guided us to picking other key technologies. It has granted us high pace of product delivery and service availability while operating with a small team.
