Connect is an extensible HTTP server framework for node using 'plugins' known as middleware. It is similar to koa-compose in the sense that it allows the use of middleware in a sequence. However, Connect is more of a server framework itself, whereas koa-compose is specifically designed for use with Koa.
Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications. It has built-in middleware composition, similar to what koa-compose offers, but it is part of a larger framework rather than a standalone middleware utility.
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps, and it features a 'compose' function that is conceptually similar to koa-compose. It allows for the composition of functions, particularly middleware in the context of Redux, to enhance store functionality. While it serves a different purpose (state management vs. HTTP middleware), the composition concept is a shared feature.
