Hi everybody! I need some help on getting together as much information as possible on node.js (and its competitors), as we're going to start a quite project in our company, and we currently are in that phase in which you have to convince yourself and everybody else that this or that technology choice is the right one.
The project is about a "Proxy API", as I often call it, a *central routing app* that should handle all the connections between our already existing applications. These are like 7 at the moment, but we want to separate some of them (especially the main one, a huge Ruby on Rails app that computes and displays quite everything behind it), so we want to create something very configurable, abstract, and prepared for future expansion of new apps. Obviously, the main point here is *availability*, as everything in the company (and perhaps, one day, our external clients as well) will constantly hit this API, and ask (and post) data, but almost nothing as to be computed in the API itself, we just pass the data to other apps, and maybe do some nice *caching* to not constantly hit other apps always for the same data. That said, we have to *convince the business counterpart* (we are a financial company) that node.js is well-suited for our use case, is ready for big numbers, and that (don't ask me why everyone in this damn sector thinks this) Java, or better the JVM, may not be the best way to go. Anyway, a nice comparison between the proposed languages would be very appreciated! Thank you in advance in any case! -- -- 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.
