I have to admit...I'm not the biggest fan of javascript (largely based on old history) and the node.js craze has passed me by...but I'm open minded. I'll definitely take a look. Thanks for your response.

And I have to admit that I am one of the biggest fans of JavaScript, so I may be a biased. :)

I will give you some background about why we chose these technologies:

After working with several startups, we realized that almost all startups face one common problem:

They have to deliver the best product using the least amount of resources.

So, we were looking for technologies that would help us :

1. Build apps quickly using the least developer resources - (Save time and money) And 2. Build apps that are performant, scalable and reliable. - (Deliver Quality)

And the JS tech stack helps us fulfil both the aims. That’s why we chose it.

Understood and well-reasoned. I am not completely against javascript...but would probably opt to use typescript if going down that path. However, I'll definitely consider your comments and the links you passed along.

Thanks.
