ActionHero

ActionHero takes the ideas behind Express and Koa and adds background task processing, chat rooms, and plugins. The result is an API server with a simple development API and powerful features. Great for DIY projects or as the backbone of an Enterprise Application Server.

Pros:

Broad feature set compared to competition. Easy API.

Cons:

Small but growing user base.

went looking for a completely new backed for our new platform. landed on AH after reviewing koa (in its infancy), loopback, express, feathersjs, meteor, sails

Pros:

1 one-stop shopping

2 built in task queues

3 active support from original author + others

4 smart people in this small AH circle

5 easy docs

Cons:

1. growth

2. community

We are really proud of the work we've done to modernize AcitonHero, to take advantage of all new tools that modern Javascript (and node v8+) have created. async/await-style programming is the bid one, we've added inline docs, a simpler class hierarchy to extend your actions and tasks, and more!
