`Node.js` and/or other Javascript offshoots' performance, stability and speed relative to non-JS frameworks (Rails, Django...)

Tags:

I find myself often needing performance & speed references for friends who still don't believe a Node.js or other Javascript-derived implementation or application can compete with those powered by Rails, Pure Ruby, .NET, Python and similar setups.

I have seen very impressive reports on this, with graphs and eyecandy, but when I need them, I can never find them. So maybe we can use this question to build a list of viable resources for "selling" a tech person/manager on Node.js as a viable solution. Or add citable facts to the thread

Thanks in advance.

Which is fast Django or node JS?

The fact that the Django web framework is more dynamic and gives fast speed makes it more cost-effective than Node. js. The fact that Node. js absorbs more functioning time, even though it is easier to learn, makes it less cost-effective than Django.

How is node js better than other frameworks?

Considering the speed of the development, Node. js works is that it makes you string together different components, ease the process and flexibility of building entire application.

Which is better node js or JavaScript?

JavaScript is a simple programming language that runs in any browser JavaScript Engine. Whereas Node JS is an interpreter or running environment for a JavaScript programming language that holds many excesses, it requires libraries that can easily be accessed from JavaScript programming for better use.

Is Node JS good for performance?

js users (including tech giants such as LinkedIn or PayPal) are praising Node for its impressive performance. It's good at multitasking, doesn't weight down the server, and works on Chrome V8, the fastest JavaScript engine available. JavaScript is the most popular client-side front-end programming language.

Node.js is beating other platforms, sure. But it's not it's raw speed (V8), it's the sophisticated event-driven model which powers the node.js platform ;)
