This document introduces Sails.js, an MVC framework for Node.js that is built on Express and inspired by Ruby on Rails. It discusses key features like the Waterline ORM, realtime functionality using Socket.io, and components including routes, controllers, models, and services. The document also covers deploying Sails apps to production environments in the cloud and integrating with tools like Angular, New Relic, and Stormpath. Finally, it provides instructions for installing Sails and generating a new project scaffolding.
