.NET Core can deploy to Linux now.

It's also faster than Node. Significantly faster. I was troubleshooting a connection issue to a db from a .NET Core API so I set up a NodeJS API hitting the same db to isolate it to the connection. After I was done fixing things, I compared the API response speeds for the same thing. .NET Core outperformed Node dramatically just like in benchmarks.

I've been running a website and API with .NET Core for over a year...deploying to Digital Ocean droplets that run Ubuntu. Using MySQL instead of PostGres, sorry HN. It all runs like a champ, and costs me $17.05 USD per month. I only have about 100 users, so I'll scale if/when needed. I built it all on a refurb $700 macbook air I bought in 2016.

...and I can concur on the performance. It's hilariously fast.
