Colossus vs Propel ORM: What are the differences?
What is Colossus? I/O and Microservice library for Scala. Colossus is a lightweight framework for building high-performance applications in Scala that require non-blocking network I/O. In particular Colossus is focused on low-latency stateless microservices where often the service is little more than an abstraction over a database and/or cache. For this use case, Colossus aims to maximize performance while keeping the interface clean and concise.
What is Propel ORM? *A free and open-source object-relational mapping toolkit *. It is an open-source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) for SQL-Databases in PHP 5.5. It allows you to access your database using a set of objects, providing a simple API for storing and retrieving data.
Colossus and Propel ORM are primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" and "Object Relational Mapper (ORM)" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Colossus are:
- Clean Event-based Programming
- Seamless Integration with Akka
- Real-time Metrics
On the other hand, Propel ORM provides the following key features:
- Highly customizable and blazing fast
- ORM library for PHP 5.5+
- Supports schema migration for MySQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL
Colossus and Propel ORM are both open source tools. Colossus with 1.15K GitHub stars and 101 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Propel ORM with 1.1K GitHub stars and 310 GitHub forks.
