...A framework is a set of components working together. The main intention behind a framework is to facilitate (app or service) creation. The way a framework helps any developer may vary from one to another. Full-stack meaning it provides all aspects (-stacks-) from data layer to sometimes deployment. Micro meaning it provides only the routing part, and let the developer choose any other component for the others. On macos, you need to use docker-machine to allow docker usage for each framework.
