Engineering Decision Guide

Which Should You Choose: puter or rea?

✓ Choose puter If:

  • Your stack requires TypeScript standard tooling and runtime conventions.
  • Your team values global market mindshare and larger talent pool.
  • You prioritize its GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 licensing terms for proprietary enterprise distribution.
  • You need verified maintenance cadence (11.5/25 pts in velocity).

✓ Choose rea If:

  • Your application architecture is built around TypeScript.
  • You prefer its modular footprint and release update cadence (20/25 pts).
  • You want to take advantage of its documentation ecosystem (2.5/15 pts).
  • Your team is seeking active issue resolution with low maintainer stagnation.
