It looks looks the same to its consumer, but it will feel different when under pressure.
I've experienced React SSR server (I know this is heavy) not able to withstand traffic when pushed to only tens of concurrent users, reaching only 1000ish RPS even after being clustered.
I'm not opposed to NodeJS though. I've learnt a lot of it and I've ever been a NodeJS fanboy for like 2 years-ish.
PS: I also increased my productivity too moving from PHP to NodeJS back then years ago.
