So we've got this new project and we are building a new stack from scratch. Frontend is well fixed and we already have solution going, now comes the backend part with a RESTful API. We have decided to give node a try.But what would be good is having quickly a good RESTful API which follows solid specifications like OpenAPI or oData and have good ORM features on SQL Server or Mongo.So I built this prototype in Loopback 4 and it seems to do the job. Problem is that everybody says that Loopback is a nightmare to maintain as everything is made so it remains under Strongloop's hand. A lot of people used to say the same of most now heavily used frameworks but I am afraid of this maintenance process when the project will be bigger.So right now I am hesitating: is it better to build an API a bit more from scratch that we will know by heart with Express or use Loopback and its magic command line which gives quickly a full solution which will be harder to maintain?
