Administrate vs Slick: What are the differences?

Administrate: Rails framework for creating flexible admin dashboards, by thoughtbot. Administrate is heavily inspired by projects like Rails Admin and ActiveAdmin, but aims to provide a better user experience for site admins, and to be easier for developers to customize; Slick: Database query and access library for Scala. It is a modern database query and access library for Scala. It allows you to work with stored data almost as if you were using Scala collections while at the same time giving you full control over when a database access happens and which data is transferred.

Administrate and Slick belong to "Database Tools" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Administrate are:

• No DSLs (domain-specific languages)
• Support the simplest use cases, and let the user override defaults with standard tools such as plain Rails controllers and views.
• Break up the library into core components and plugins, so each component stays small and easy to maintain.

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

• Seamless data access for your Scala application
• Write Scala code to query your database
• All database entities and queries are statically checked at compile-time

Administrate and Slick are both open source tools. It seems that Administrate with 4.48K GitHub stars and 793 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Slick with 2.27K GitHub stars and 542 GitHub forks.
