Sails.js (or Sails)^[2] is a model–view–controller (MVC) web application framework developed atop the Node.js environment,^{[3]: 1, 19} released as free and open-source software under the MIT License.^[4][5] It is designed for Node.js web applications and APIs ^[4] with similar architecture to Ruby on Rails.^[3]: 19

Sails.js is built on Node.js and Express.js, enabling applications to be written in JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database). Similar to Ruby on Rails,^[2] Sails.js provides an object-relational mapping interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction layer.^[6]

A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generated REST APIs, WebSockets by default using Socket.io;^[2] and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic (AngularJS, React.js, Android, iOS, etc.).
