...the whole Sails thing is currently a hot mess. At least one core contributor has bailed and moved on to Trails.js. Accusations of incompetence, malfeasance, character assassination, etc., abound.
As far as I know (GitHub is down, cannot confirm) Sails is still running Express 3 (the maintainers are supposedly upgrading to 5), has a variety of other major issues with respect to its ORM, Waterline, and is a bit lacking on the "contemporary best practices" front. Long story short, it's broadly (perhaps unfairly, perhaps not) considered dead or dying.
There aren't any viable Rails alternatives for Node. (Flask, Sinatra, on the other hand? — sure. You'll have no trouble finding a good micro-framework.)
ThinkJS, Adonis and Strapi are the only entries I've seen in the Rails/Laravel/Django space, but they all have problems too -- to wit, ThinkJS recommended hashing passwords with MD5 (!!!) on their front page until quite recently, Adonis is aggressively NIH, and Strapi uses Waterline, which is (by many accounts) bad at just about everything.
There's also Nodal, which I've heard good things about, but it's limited to APIs with Postgres.

Qualtim/Pushing7 | Madison, WI | Multiple Positions | ONSITE, Full-Time |
We're a multi-faceted marketing / web development firm. We're an established (20+ years) company in the Madison, WI area associated with the structural building component (think trusses and wall panels) industry, and looking for some new additions to our dev team.
We're looking for a PHP developer who has an affinity for Drupal development and an interest in creating customized solutions for a diverse set of clients in a variety of industries. If you'd like to help us build a better mousetrap, improve on existing solutions create entirely new ones, please get in touch. Additional information and instructions for submitting a resume can be found at http://www.qualtim.com/careers/web-developer.
Pushing7 is also looking for a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript dev. We write custom Node applications, with the occasional SPA or Metalsmith-powered static site, for a variety of clients solving a variety of problems - most recently engineering ones. We use Angular 1.x on the front end, with Koa on the backend and TypeScript along the whole stack. We've even gotten our hands dirty with hybrid mobile apps using Ionic and Cordova. If any of that jumps out to you, get in touch with me at [email protected]; let's talk about your favorite npm module. Additional details for this position can be found at http://www.qualtim.com/careers/javascript-developer
I've been here for nearly eighteen months. It feels very much like a startuppy company - on-site childcare, rec facility, shoes-optional, cool with remote work - but with the work-life balance and stability of a "greyer" one. Madison is an awesome town, and since 2014 has been ranked by Livability.com as one of the best places to live in the USA.
