Opinionated
By embracing an opinionated framework, you cut down on decision fatigue, make it easier to hire/onboard new employees, and benefit from the collective knowledge of the community.
A true backend framework
Unfortunately, everything in the JavaScript world starts and ends with meta-frameworks. Even the frameworks that claim to be "the Rails of JavaScript" focus primarily on the frontend side of things and offer you a buffet of 3rd party services for your backend needs.
On the other hand, AdonisJS is a true backend framework offering features and APIs to build robust web applications and API servers.
Simple and Elegant
Simplicity is what everyone loves AdonisJS for. We do not lock you into a particular architectural style or go overboard with design patterns. Everything in AdonisJS has functional APIs with the option to extract logic into easy-to-test and reusable classes.
Core Team
AdonisJS is primarily maintained by Harminder Virk (the creator and the lead maintainer of the framework) along with the help of other core team members.
