How is Hemera different from SenecaJS?? The API looks similar. Good work!

Hi we want to create a toolkit which is responsible for everything expect the transport. We don't need overall transport independence. We trust in a well tested system called NATS. The wrong path in error-handling, logging and tracing are one of the reasons why we couldn't use existing solutions like SenecaJS. The API is very similiar to Seneca this is intentional.

Your comment would still have been appropriate without anyone asking a question.

I came with the expectation that you have experience with SenecaJS. If you read my comment you would see that HemeraJS rely on a messaging bus called NATS. We focus on clean error handling that implicit error-first-callbacks. Logging is consistent. One of the most complex parts of a software which provide building a microservice architecture will be handled by the messaging bus NATS - Service discovery, client pruning and load balancing. Hemera has a very small core but it is also very modular. You can create plugins, middlewares and more. We already provide lots of plugins for different categorys e.g data-serialization (JSON, Msgpack, Avro), Database adapter( Elasticsearch, Couchbase, SQL or Arangodb) Payload validators (Joi, Parambulator) We also provide a plugin for monitoring your system with Zipkin. I hope you have now a better picture. Otherwise you could visit the github project. I invest a lot of time in the documentation. Thanks!
