Kinto vs SocketCluster: What are the differences?

Kinto: Open-source alternative to Firebase and Parse. Kinto is a lightweight JSON storage service with synchronisation and sharing abilities; SocketCluster: An open, scalable realtime engine for Node.js. SocketCluster is a fast, highly scalable HTTP + realtime server engine which lets you build multi-process realtime servers that make use of all CPU cores on a machine/instance. It removes the limitations of having to run your Node.js server as a single thread and makes your backend resilient by automatically recovering from worker crashes and aggregating errors into a central log.

Kinto and SocketCluster can be categorized as "Realtime Backend / API" tools.

Kinto and SocketCluster are both open source tools. It seems that SocketCluster with 5.35K GitHub stars and 283 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Kinto with 3.77K GitHub stars and 355 GitHub forks.
