LoopBack

React LoopBack Node.js ExpressJS Elasticsearch Kibana Logstash Sequelize Mocha Chai Visual Studio Code are the combo of technologies being used by me to build BestPrice Extension with all its micro-services & Web-based fragments

I use LoopBack because it is:

• It is truly and Unbelievably Extensible
• it is default integrated with OpenAPI (Swagger) Spec Driven REST API
• I write lesser codes, because most of the user stories have been covered using the code generation
• It's documentation is more compact and well detailed than @{ExpressJS}|tool:1163|
• It is very easy to learn, hence you can build a basic Rest API App in minutes
• It has built in NPM packages required to build my Rest API which saves me time on installation and configuration
• The Datasource/Service/Controller concept is just Brilliant (that's mostly all you need to get your app speaking with an External API services)
• The support for SOAP and Rest API services is amazing!

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.
