ElephantSQL vs Knex.js: What are the differences?

What is ElephantSQL? PostgreSQL as a Service. ElephantSQL hosts PostgreSQL on Amazon EC2 in multiple regions and availability zones. The servers are continuously transferring the Write-Ahead-Log (the transaction log) to S3 for maximum reliability.

What is Knex.js? SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle. Knex.js is a "batteries included" SQL query builder for Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite3, and Oracle designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use. It features both traditional node style callbacks as well as a promise interface for cleaner async flow control, a stream interface, full featured query and schema builders, transaction support (with savepoints), connection pooling and standardized responses between different query clients and dialects.

ElephantSQL and Knex.js are primarily classified as "PostgreSQL as a Service" and "Database" tools respectively.

Knex.js is an open source tool with 9.92K GitHub stars and 1.24K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Knex.js's open source repository on GitHub.
