Exactly. Every NodeJS tutorial starts with: "look how easy it is to write a server and listen on port 3000".
Yea it's easy. But why are you writing a server? That should be the least of your concerns.
- doteka 6y agoWell, I need to write a server if my requirements don’t fit a server side rendered application and/or my usecase does not fit the absolutely anemic performance of Rails, which also applies when using it only for an API (it’s not Ruby’s fault btw). The classic response is “zomg premature optimization bad”, but some of us work on more complex applications than simple database CRUD.
