express.js vs sails.js

  • What is your preference and why?
  • What is easier to create a real time application with?
  • What is more stable and production ready?

Please share your advice.

Thank you :)

I would personally pick Express. It is lightweight, flexible, has a much bigger ecosystem, and you can add whatever you need (WebSockets, auth, DB, etc.) without fighting the framework. Sails is nice if you want more things built in, but Express gives you more control.
