Finatra vs Vapor: What are the differences?

What is Finatra? Fast, testable, Scala services built on TwitterServer and Finagle, by Twitter. At Twitter, Finagle provides the building blocks for most of the code written on the JVM. It has long-served as Twitter's extensible, protocol-agnostic, highly-scalable RPC framework.

What is Vapor? A type-safe web framework for Swift. Vapor is the first true web framework for Swift. It provides a beautifully expressive foundation for your app without tying you to any single server implementation.

Finatra and Vapor can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Some of the features offered by Finatra are:

  • Production use as Twitter’s HTTP framework
  • ~50 times faster than v1.6 in several benchmarks
  • Powerful feature and integration test support

On the other hand, Vapor provides the following key features:

  • Pure Swift (No makefiles, module maps)
  • Modular
  • Beautifully expressive

"Fast" is the top reason why over 4 developers like Finatra, while over 4 developers mention "Fast" as the leading cause for choosing Vapor.

      What are some alternatives to Finatra and Vapor?
      Play
      Play Framework makes it easy to build web applications with Java & Scala. Play is based on a lightweight, stateless, web-friendly architecture. Built on Akka, Play provides predictable and minimal resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads) for highly-scalable applications.
      Scalatra
      It combines the power of the JVM with the beauty and brevity of Scala, helping you quickly build high-performance web sites and APIs.
      Finagle
      Finagle is an extensible RPC system for the JVM, used to construct high-concurrency servers. Finagle implements uniform client and server APIs for several protocols, and is designed for high performance and concurrency.
      Akka HTTP
      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.
      JavaScript
      JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
