> Anyone here insist that node is super fast. I don't think many node users say that. Node is efficient and can serve a lot of simultaneous connections. A JS interpreter cannot compete with efficient C++ code for hauling data.
> Is it faster than node.js Nginx and node are each fast for their own purposes. Nginx is fast at serving static data and node is fast at serving dynamic pages/data and low-level connection-handling. They go well together with nginx proxying in front of node. This is a common configuration. Both are asynchronous-based with event loops. Nginx is simpler to use for simple serving than node is. IMHO, nginx should replace apache web server. However, I highly recommend letting some other service like S3 or cloudfront serve video files. It will save you headaches dealing with all that data. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
