Thats very encouraging to hear. I have been trying to sell our product to enterprise companies and few Fintech companies showed interest, however they are almost 100% Java stack still. In fact I got a big list of concerns/requirements when we said we are based on Node.js - starting with XML processing and distributed transaction.. They cannot imagine using our stack for core business logic because of lack of enterprise features like distributed transaction support. That's when I realized how mature Java is in enterprise adoption compared to other stacks (With .net as an exception.). Wonder if a common standard like JDBC and JMS would help Node.js gain more adoption with enterprises
- coldtea 5y ago>and few Fintech companies showed interest I said Node is dominant in web/APIs, but Fintech I don't expect to go for Node, if we're talking trading, but also for CRUD work.

- comprev 5y agoSomewhere else I saw NodeJS take the lead was parsing of vast quantities of large XML files in the streaming media world. DDEX is the industry standard for metadata communication (artist, track, licensing, credits, etc.). One 20-track Xmas classical music compilation album could easily have a single 150MB XML file!
- mjgs 5y agoI hypothesise that you’ll find a big variance in backend languages based on when the companies were started. Companies started 10 years ago tend to have Java / Ruby backends, but companies started in the past 2-3 years will often have NodeJS/Typescript backends.
