Sails

Build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps with Sails! Sails.js is a web framework designed to make building practical, production-ready Node.js apps fast and easy. It is the most popular MVC framework for Node.js, resembling the MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails but with support for the requirements of modern apps, such as a data-driven API with a scalable, service-oriented architecture.

Sails is compatible with any front-end as well as any database thanks to its powerful ORM Waterline. Sails actions are compatible with Connect middleware, allowing you in most cases to simply paste code into Sails from an existing Express project and have everything work. You'll also be able to use WebSockets to talk to your API, and vice versa.

Features

Supports all kinds of datastores through Waterline
Auto-generated REST APIs
Front-end agnostic
Easy WebSocket integration
Powerful associations
Declarative, reusable security policies
Flexible asset pipeline
Rock-solid foundation
