So I'm curious as to the reasons people chose Node.js
For work that is almost entirely IO bound Node is really fast and easy with asyc concurrency that works really well. Compared to most other solutions out there will you get a very fast solution very quickly. For problems which basically reduce to
-Wait for GET/POST request
-query a bunch of databases based on request
-return result of DB queries as JSON
