Hoodie vs JAWS: What are the differences?
What is Hoodie? A fast offline-first architecture for webapps. Super-simple user management & storage. Great for mobile. We want to enable you to build complete web apps in days, without having to worry about backends, databases or servers, all with an open source library that's as simple to use as jQuery.
What is JAWS? Javascript + AWS Stack – A server-free, webapp boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services. The Javascript + AWS Stack – A server-free, webapp boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services that redefine how to build massively scalable web applications.
Hoodie and JAWS can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
Some of the features offered by Hoodie are:
- Offline by default: Hoodie stores data locally first and syncs them in the background when possible. Great for mobile applications
- One-line signup/signin/signout/resend password and other account management functions
- Document-based storage with CouchDB: no building database schemas
On the other hand, JAWS provides the following key features:
- Use No Servers: Never deal with scaling/deploying/maintaing/monitoring servers again.
- Isolated Components: The JAWS back-end is comprised entirely of AWS Lambda Functions.
- Scale Infinitely: A back-end comprised of Lambda functions comes with a ton of concurrency and you can easily enable multi-region redundancy.
Hoodie and JAWS are both open source tools. It seems that JAWS with 30.9K GitHub stars and 3.43K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hoodie with 3.51K GitHub stars and 314 GitHub forks.
