Aqueduct vs Sails.js: What are the differences?
Developers describe Aqueduct as "Dart on the server". Aqueduct is an open source, server-side web framework written in Google’s Dart language. Aqueduct promises faster development, experimentation and testing – without sacrificing power. On the other hand, Sails.js is detailed as "Realtime MVC Framework for Node.js". Sails is designed to mimic the MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with scalable, service-oriented architecture.
Aqueduct and Sails.js can be categorized as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.
Aqueduct and Sails.js are both open source tools. Sails.js with 20.7K GitHub stars and 1.85K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Aqueduct with 1.11K GitHub stars and 74 GitHub forks.
