Node.js vs Python for Backend: Which Should You Choose?

Practical comparison for choosing your backend technology.

Node.js: JavaScript Everywhere

Same language frontend and backend. Excellent for real-time apps (chat, notifications), API servers, and microservices. NPM has 2M+ packages. Non-blocking I/O handles concurrent connections efficiently.

Python: Versatile and Readable

Clean syntax, massive data science/ML ecosystem, Django for rapid development, Flask for lightweight APIs. Best for data-heavy apps, ML integration, and scientific computing.
