About Performance there is a nice thread http://www.devcomments.com/NodeJS-scalability-and-performances-at223501.htm about that, also check out the Google Groups for NodeJS. There are a couple people discussing that, and from my understanding about I/O and OS I gotta say the idea of completly evented I/O seems like a great Idea. <br />When I release the project I'm working on right now, I will know a lot more. You are invited to check it out then.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451348268928495634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858156.post-81051122148567064722010-08-05T23:17:34.183+02:002010-08-05T23:17:34.183+02:00Good point.

Seems like a strong argument for this kind of software stack - also it's probably rather positive for you that it's a new territory. The single thing Node.js needs from my point of view is a performance proof. I'm not sure that it can react well for massive load and scale out. I may be wrong. Do you maybe have links on Node.js scalability/performance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858156.post-50521599015915802352010-08-04T22:45:38.741+02:002010-08-04T22:45:38.741+02:00A little addition with a database like CoachDB whi...A little addition with a database like CoachDB which server JSON directly, doing this kind of development becomes even more attractive as well as convenient. Since the DB in this case is build to scale, you could server up a small page stub including the JS needed and from then on load pretty much directly from the DB, which implements the filter logic and serves JSON. I'm thinking about building a WebApp right now using NodeJS for Serving the basic functions, with CouchDB in the backend, and JS on the client doing most of the business logic. That's JS pretty much all the way. <br />The only problem I see with JS as a developer is that the language do to it's prototype and functional nature is quite different to what I'm used to with Python and Ruby.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451348268928495634noreply@blogger.com
