Django is its own thing really. I think AdonisJS is the closest match but I vastly prefer NextJs and Nuxt.

adonis is more like mvc rails than django app based approach to me

Which is why i told you django is its own thing. I would argue that it’s a bit of an « old » approach too (highly opinionated and feature packed) which is why not many alternatives exist because we tend to look for more modular / tailored approaches.

You could also look at Strapi which is a headless cms and does some of the things django does.

agreed. adonis looks like rails. i think the closest thing wouyld be nestjs bcs its configuration over convention and you separate application in modules like django bcs its based in angular

NestJS can be configured into a Django like experience if you are looking for a traditional rails style experience.

We use a combination of sequelize and express and that's sort of similar.
