seneca vs Hexagon: What are the differences?
Developers describe seneca as "A Micro-Services toolkit for Node.js". Seneca is a toolkit for organizing the business logic of your app. You can break down your app into "stuff that happens", rather than focusing on data models or managing dependencies. On the other hand, Hexagon is detailed as "A microservices toolkit written in Kotlin". It is a microservices toolkit written in Kotlin. Its purpose is to ease the building of services (Web applications, APIs or queue consumers) that run inside a cloud platform.
seneca and Hexagon can be primarily classified as "Microservices" tools.
Some of the features offered by seneca are:
- pattern matching: a wonderfully flexible way to handle business requirements
- transport independence: how messages get to the right server is not something you should have to worry about
- maturity: 5 years in production (before we called it micro-services), but was once taken out by lightning
On the other hand, Hexagon provides the following key features:
- Simple to use
- Easy to hack
- Kotlin first
seneca is an open source tool with 3 GitHub stars and 1 GitHub forks. Here's a link to seneca's open source repository on GitHub.
