Building a complex SaaS app or backoffice app on a "greenfield Node server" is a supreme exercise in frustration.

There's a tool for every job, but for most of my use-cases, I'd rather have a webserver which is just a webserver, and get my front-end elsewhere. But I'm sure there are places where Rails is a great fit in the right hands.
I'm not even using node very much these days. Serverless is what I would reach for for most professional applications these days.
