ExpressJS vs Nameko: What are the differences?

Developers describe ExpressJS as "Sinatra inspired web development framework for node.js -- insanely fast, flexible, and simple". Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications. On the other hand, Nameko is detailed as "Python microservices framework". Python microservices framework that leverages AMQP for RPC. It supports asynchronous and synchronous events.

ExpressJS and Nameko can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.

Some of the features offered by ExpressJS are:

  • Robust routing
  • HTTP helpers (redirection, caching, etc)
  • View system supporting 14+ template engines

On the other hand, Nameko provides the following key features:

  • Focus on business logic
  • Distributed and scalable
  • Extensible

ExpressJS and Nameko are both open source tools. It seems that ExpressJS with 45.1K GitHub stars and 7.57K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Nameko with 2.98K GitHub stars and 290 GitHub forks.

Which is the best Python framework for microservices?

We are using Nameko for building microservices in Python. The things we really like are dependency injection and the ease with which one can expose endpoints via RPC over RabbitMQ. We are planning to try a tool that helps us write polyglot microservices and nameko is not super compatible with it. Also, we are a bit worried about the not so good community support from nameko and looking for a python alternate to write microservices.

BottleBottle

Bottle is much less bloated and fast. Its built-in templating system is one of the fastest as it compiles the templates in bytecode. Also Bottle has no depenencies, preventing dependency bloat.

      What are some alternatives to ExpressJS and Nameko?
      Koa
      Koa aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Through leveraging generators Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware.
      React
      Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
      Flask
      Flask is intended for getting started very quickly and was developed with best intentions in mind.
      Django
      Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
      Golang
      Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
