Beego vs FeathersJS

Beego is a "batteries included" web framework, which means that a lot of features already come out of the box. This way you don't have to spend time and find third-party libraries to integrate to the framework for most of the tasks you need to complete.

Beego has a built-in tool which watches the code for changes. This tool (called bee tool) can be configured to run any task once the code changes. It can run tests or reload and rebuild the whole project.

Beego's eloquent ORM is a simple and fast Object-Relational Mapping which helps with organizing the application's database. Beego examples and documentation all use the beego ORM. No need to learn to use and integrate another ORMs API.

Feather can sync events happening in two different Node processes or even servers in real-time. For example: an event happens in server A, the user connected to server B is instantly notified of that event.

This is done through a central Redis or Mongo collection or through a websocket libraries' clustering library.

Through services, Feathers provides instant CRUD functionality, it also can easily expose a RESTful and real-time API through HTTP/HTTPS and websockets.

Since Feathers itself is built on top of Express (it's a thin wrapper over socket.io, primus and Express) and because of Feathers' highly modular nature, it's very easy to integrate Feathers in an existing Express project.

Feathers makes extensive use of modules (which are called Feathers services). These services work like ExpressJS middleware and can be used with app.use('/path', serviceObject).

Services help developers keep their applications modular and as minimal as possible, without any unnecessary libraries or bloat.

FeatherJS uses primus which is a universal wrapper for real-time frameworks. Through primus you can easily choose which socket transport you want to use.
