Sinatra vs Akka HTTP: What are the differences?
Developers describe Sinatra as "Classy web-development dressed in a DSL". Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort. On the other hand, Akka HTTP is detailed as "HTTP client and server built on Akka actors and streams". The Akka HTTP modules implement a full server- and client-side HTTP stack on top of akka-actor and akka-stream. It’s not a web-framework but rather a more general toolkit for providing and consuming HTTP-based services. While interaction with a browser is of course also in scope it is not the primary focus of Akka HTTP.
Sinatra and Akka HTTP can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.
Sinatra is an open source tool with 11K GitHub stars and 1.98K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Sinatra's open source repository on GitHub.
