eggjs/egg Alternatives
Node.js web application framework
Egg is an opinionated Node.js enterprise application framework built on Koa that adds process management, a plugin system, and framework customization for building web apps and APIs.
Same job, different approach
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
