Mach vs Adonisjs

Mach has some pretty cool streaming functionalities built directly into it, if your web app provides any audio/video/data streaming features, you can consider using Mach to build it.

Since Mach already is asynchronous (stateless) which means your logic is implemented by using promises (then objects); hence your functions are pretty independent and composable.

No complex layers between plain HTTP requests and the corresponding JS functions invoked. Which in turn means each GET/POST/PUT or any other HTTP request is directly mapped to a Javascript function. Hence leading to a huge increase in performance for your app

One of the distinguishing features of Mach is it's robustness, errors won't be terminating your complete app, instead they'll bubble up so you can handle them gracefully.

Like most of the Node.js's core, Mach is an asynchronous web framework too. Each response (of a request) can simply be hooked up to a then method so that its result or the reason for failure can be retrieved after the action is complete. If you're wondering what async operations are, here's a pretty good explanation for you

If you are already programming in PHP with Laravel, you will have no trouble starting development with Node using Adonis.

There are built-in modules for everything: Auth, Social Auth, mailing ect

You can choose to use the full-stack version or if you wish to build a RESTful API you can choose to use the api standalone version.
