Rocket.Chat VS Koa

It's funny because recently there was some drama around Rocket Chat with release 6.5.0. They introduced a new "free" tier in addition to the "community" version where the latter introduced a user limit of 25. During the upgrade to 6.5.0 existing Rocket installations also were switched to the new "free" tier and thus got the new user limit. It was possible to uncheck some boxes to get back to "community" but it caused a lot of confusion among Rocket users/admins.

Rocket.Chat (version 4.40.0): Team Communication Tool

Rocket.Chat is an alternative to discord for companies and teams.

I'm considering switching from Matrix / Element to rocket.chat for a small instance (< 10 people) I host for my friends. However there is something during the setup process that gives me pause:

Depends on what do you exactly mean, but the obvious answers to this question are either: Revolt, Matrix(for instance, Element, etc.), Guilded, etc. I suppose rocket.chat and Slack could be considered as well.

Revolt, Guilded, Element (Matrix Client), Matrix, Cinny (Matrix Client), Spacebar, Rocket Chat, Mikoto, Mattermost, Teamspeak and Nertivia

trying to setup rocket.chat in portainer. Can anybody post correct docker compose here?

Since "Express.js is an old framework that has not evolved for a long time. It's not a good choice for new projects since it can easily lead to security issues and memory leaks." -- H3. Which is also the case for Koa.

In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

The initial step is to create our entry point, from where the page will be rendered. In this case, we will use the koa framework.

Koa.js: By the team behind Express, Koa.js utilized async/await for middleware, resulting in cleaner and more readable code.

Koa -Next Generation Node Microservice Framework

Backend is more tricky. - RESTful APIs I prefer Koajs - For a RPC/microsevice, I have only used gRPC - For a CLI, yargs and inquirer

There are lot of different frameworks out there. If you learn one, there is no guarantee that the next job you find will use the same. For example if you learn Express and the next one used Koa or Nest.

Koa.js is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application infrastruc­ture, which provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applica­tions. It is an open-source framework developed and maintained by the creators of Express.js, the most popular web framework for Node.js.
