That's a fair criticism. There are a lot of tradeoffs in language choice. For this project the choice was out of my hands, but in retrospect I don't think Node was necessarily a bad choice. Node worked well for a lot of things we did. Was the cost spent struggling with SQL outweighed by the other benefits? It's hard to say for sure.
