nestjs-boilerplate VS SailsJS

As you can see, from the above mentioned features, this boilerplate significantly reduces the startup time for your project (approximately 193 hours), making it a worthwhile consideration. Categories: Feature-Rich Boilerplates, Boilerplates with Auth and Registration, Frontend-Only (and has a fully compatible backend boilerplate, thus can be used as Full-Stack Boilerplates), Free.

How much time do we typically spend on project setup? We're talking about configuring installed libraries and writing boilerplate code to structure and implement best practices for achieving optimal website performance. At Brocoders, we often start new projects from scratch. That's why over 3 years ago, we created a NestJS boilerplate for the backend so that we wouldn't have to spend time developing core functionality that the end user doesn't see but is crucial for developers. Over this time, the boilerplate has received 1.9k stars on GitHub and has gained significant popularity beyond our company. Now, we've decided to take it a step further and created the Extensive React Boilerplate for the frontend. Its purpose is to keep our best practices in project development together, avoiding familiar pitfalls and reducing development time.

Our idea was to run our Brocoders Nest.js Boilerplate on Bun and see how it performs. The test was made on MacBook Pro 2GHz, 16Gb memory:

It includes all necessary features for auth (sign in, sign up, social sign up, confirm email, forgot password and roles) and file uploading (this allows one endpoint for file uploading and then attach it to any other entity). I decided to have it from the box, because all the projects we started required these features.

Sails is a realtime JavaScript framework built on top of Express. Sails offers built-in realtime communication support and a flexible routing system.

Community stats: Sails GitHub repository has an active community with 22.78k stars and 2k forks. They also have a YouTube channel with a library of useful tutorial videos.

Sails.js: Sails.js pitched itself as the MVC framework for Node.js, bringing a Rails-like experience while being database agnostic.

Disclaimer: I didn't know much about Websockets 1 week ago, all the experience I had with Websockets was when I developed a chat application back in 2016 using a JS framework that tried to be a Ruby on Rails implementation called SailsJS, so I decided to research about this technology and consumed multiple resources which I will link in this blog post and each section.

Perhaps Sails.js. They mention RoR. An Angular teacher used it to create a fast API.

I was just talking about this topic of whether we really has any Rails-influenced JS frameworks out there in the wild. And I struggled to come up with anything off the top of my head other than Sails.js [1]. RedwoodJS looks interesting, what about it in particular do you find exciting?

Sails JS – The MVC framework for Node.js

First hurdle. ExpressJS isn't a great framework on it's own for building web sites. You need to cobble together some combination of a view engine, templating etc otherwise out of the box you'll end up handcrafting HTML which I don't think is what you want right now. I'm not up on the latest server-side web frameworks and don't think now is the time to get into react + nodejs. So I'll just suggest Sails: https://sailsjs.com/. Follow their intro guides to get yourself a basic website with text entry.
