The AquaJS framework for Node.js looks to speed up app dev by streamlining integration processes. In development at enterprise connectivity services provider Equinix, AquaJS moved to public beta stage this week with a general release, available as an Npm, expected in a month.
"You define a contract. AquaJS will read those contracts, and it automatically generates the scaffolding end-to-end," said Venkatachalam Rangasamy, senior software architect at Equinix.
An open source framework, AquaJS generates API calls, handles connection points between frameworks, and solves integration issues. It's built on top of the Express Node.js Web application framework to support microservice design principles, with Express handling HTTP requests. AquaJS applications are written entirely in JavaScript, and the framework itself leverages the MVC development pattern.
