tmarc1578yFor me it's like Node for non relative databases and mobile apps' backends, PHP for relative. There are many differences.

Depends on your needs. If it needs to run on a shared environment: PHP. If it needs to be asynchronous: Node. They both have pro's and con's.

tytho23148yDepends on for what. There is no holy grail of languages. Rather you should ask different questions, like:
How many concurrent users am I expecting to have? What kind of liberties do I have with my hosting solution? How much time are we able to spend working with a new technology?
For what it's worth, Node done right is really good at concurrent requests for most projects, but your hosting solution should be a bit more flexible because when it goes big, you'll need to scale horizontally rather than vertically. Heroku, AWS, Digital Ocean, those types of places. -
Knossos5278yQuestions like that trigger me :| can't just say X is better. Even knowing how horrible the language is, it has a huge following and lots of frameworks to make life easier.
Node.js or PHP ?
