feathers VS AdonisJs Framework

I deeply enjoy using feathers.js (https://feathersjs.com/) with Feathers-Vuex (https://vuex.feathersjs.com/). There's a CLI tool that gets you up and running fast: https://github.com/feathersjs/cli

At the time of writing, the project has almost 14k stars on GitHub and 26k weekly downloads on npm. Feathers also includes an excellent documentation and is well known for being lightweight and easy to integrate with different databases.

The Feathers framework uses the Socket.IO module so that you receive and give updates in real-time. It also gives you control over your data through sockets, flexible plugins, and a RESTful API and resources.

Feathers - Build prototypes in minutes,

Its always best to work with the stack you are most familiar with. So for me that would

1. FeathersJS for backend [1]

2. Postgres DB

3. Angular for front end + bootstrap

4. Postmark for transactional email (for new signup email verification, forgot password, 2-factor login) [2]

5. Digital Ocean for VPS

6. Ansible for deploying everything

7. Namecheap for domain

8. DNS configuration done on Digital Ocean

Typescript for both Angular and FeathersJS

I've done this a few times and all together it would take me about 3 - 5 hours.

More info‍

In the next version (v5, codename dove) there will be an express-transport and a koa-transport. The koa-transport was [merged earlier this year by daffl](https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers/pull/2315).

Maybe feathersjs is worth to take a look. I started the migration of some internal backends to feathers, coming from plain express and dit not look back. Its a thin service based abstraction layer build on top of express. The next major release will support koa or express under the hood.

This project uses Feathers. An open source web framework for building modern real-time applications.

Adonis.js: Web framework for Node.js Github Popularity: 11.5K Stars

I also found that co-author of Adonis tried to use Vite in similar fashion as backend bundler. I asked him here, but I wanted to hear suggestions from Svelte community.

I am trying to connect backend framework called AdonisJS and SvelteKit (or any Svelte framework with router and SSR in general such as Routify). My goal is to have them both running on same port. On /api would live Adonis endpoints and the rest would be Svelte pages rendered on server.

Are you open to using something like Adonis? It’s a Node framework that comes with routing, validation, auth, and more. https://preview.adonisjs.com

Before I wasted your time by saying something so useless as "I've never heard of such a thing," I read through the rest of the comments and saw your answers to other people's replies. You mentioned Firebase in one comment, so I just wanted to mention that I used Firebase pretty extensively in some project-based courses and there was plenty of coding involved in getting the data out of Firebase and doing stuff with it. In these projects, there was quite a bit of set up with Node and node packages and Express.js, which might be the sort of thing you're thinking about when you mention a js library, but I think they're calling Express.js a framework. People are already saying it's time to ditch Express for newer ones like Koa and Fastify. A lot of people are really loving Adonis. Here's the site so you can get an idea of what it looks like: https://preview.adonisjs.com/

Give AdonisJS a try. The developer experience is a lot like Laravel, but slightly rougher around the edges. You should give Adonis 5.0 a try if you want support for TypeScript. It's still in "alpha" but I think it's stable enough. I think they're just waiting for feature parity to move it to "beta".

After working with some of the more mature MVC frameworks like Laravel and Phoenix, I was excited to see AdonisJS hit 5.0 and fully support TypeScript.

I am using it on many projects. Also, the adapter is for version 5 https://preview.adonisjs.com/
