It certainly depends on what you're doing with that data. Can you elaborate on the I/O and CPU requirements? If your app needs to spend lots of time on computation, there are different strategies to gain performance. In general, Node.js apps tend to have higher I/O requirements than CPU. > 2) Will the "Frequent Updates" way of fixing bugs and adding new > functionality stop in near future & be replaced instead with a stable release > ? I don't know how near it is, but that is the plan for the future, as I understand it. Post-1.0, updates will likely come less frequently. Check the API docs. Those APIs marked "Stable" will not change. > 3) How can I deploy my NodeJS project for Production use ? Do I have to host > .js files on server ? Node doesn't specify a preferred way of deployment. Deploy code however you deploy code. To spin up a server, you can `node server.js` or use any number of utilities for starting/stopping/restarting processes. > 4) What is good learning material for NodeJS ? http://nodejs.org/api/ - The API is the go-to when you need to understand what the core library does. http://howtonode.org/ - Blog posts regarding various ways to use Node.js. http://www.nodebeginner.org/ - I haven't actually read this, but I've seen it mentioned before as a good starting point. > 5) Are there any full proof benchmark tests done that can demonstrate > NodeJS's claims to be faster ? which can be shown to management of a company > for approval ? I'd recommend doing your own benchmarks based on your own particular needs. Publicly-posted benchmarks can be very misleading and sometimes magically reflect an outcome that benefits the person posting the results. If you run into issues benchmarking Node, this list is a good place to ask questions. Good luck!
