Node.js or PHP – Which is better? In earlier days of the web development arena, different technologies were used for front and back-end development. But, with the launch of Node.js, the complete scenario changed as it allowed developers to write the backend code using JavaScript. This eventually gave birth to MEAN stack web development framework using JavaScript right from front-end to backend and even databases (MongoDB - JSON). Before Node.js, web development was usually done with the help of PHP as it easily integrated with HTML and helped developers to build dynamic websites in no time. In this post, we will compare Node.js VS PHP and see which one best suits the current industry requirements. The basic difference between PHP and Node.js is that PHP is a programming language and Node.js is a runtime environment based on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript Engine. We at Alea, use both PHP and Node.js to deliver a robust web solution based on your preferences. We have a talented pool of PHP and Node.js developers working on some cool projects – going to be live soon. Hire them to make your dream project come true and that too without over boarding your budget. Send us your project details at support@aleaitsolutions.com and we will guide you right from the technological aspects of your project to help you make a marketing plan and promotion tactics. Coming back to Node.js VS PHP, it is a battle which anyone can win as the result is based on the type of website you are developing. Let’s say if you want to build a real- time chat application, then preferring Node.js over PHP is a wiser decision as it can easily handle large client requests at once. But, that doesn’t mean PHP is out of the game, read the full Node.js VS PHP post to know the whole story. Let’s start:- 1. Performance: Node.js clearly wins this round because of its event-driven Non-blocking I/O model. Due to this model, Node.js is able to handle large server requests as compared to conventional backend technologies. PHP follows a blocking model in which multiple
threads are created on the server side to handle multiple client requests. It results in high server load and response time if the code is not optimized. 2. Hosting and deployment: PHP applications can run on any server including Nginx and Apache and platforms (Windows and Linux) which makes their deployment process a lot easier task whereas, in the case of Node.js, you need a virtual server with SSH access. Therefore, PHP deployment is feasible for smaller corporations and individuals without any knowledge of console commands and Secure Shell (SSH). For full article click here
