Feathers
The API & Real-time Application Framework for TypeScript and JavaScript

Feathers is a full-stack web framework for building REST APIs and real-time applications using TypeScript or JavaScript across Node.js, React Native, and the browser. It supports many databases out of the box and integrates with any frontend framework such as React, Vue, or Angular. It emphasizes speed of development, with the goal of building prototypes in minutes and production-ready apps in days.
Feathers provides a service-oriented architecture with built-in HTTP and WebSocket support, allowing developers to define services that work across any database, frontend, or transport layer.
