Review on Koala Framework by Eric Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy and fast way for developing server side apps

Its simple to get up an running, it has great documentation which makes setup easy even if you are completely new at web development (as I was). There's not much else about this software that isn't obvious from reading its docs or getting help through their forums/irc channels - but support is good! The lack of community around koalaframework can be discouraging when first starting out with your own project as everything may seem too complex unless someone explains step-by-step how they solved problems in other projects before yours started. If all goes well then there shouldn’t really anything wrong using koa here though :) Just make sure yo understand what needs done prior ot committing code into production environment so nothing gets deployed without proper testing beforehand ;) We needed something faster than expressjs / sinatra while being able serve static files properly wich we could do by simply adding middleware like connect().

Pros
  • Very similar conceptually tp ruby Sinatrashow case study examples very nicely writtenand organizedfor beginnersto readthrough
Cons
  • There are nuances
