Why did you choose Demo over Node.js? Is this making performances improvements?

Much faster builds, easier to write code for, etc.

It's probably similar performance to Node, all the heavy lifting is done outside v8 (just like it would be in Node). The JS environment is largely just accepting HTTP requests, doing a bunch of logic, handing off instructions to lower level image manipulation libraries, and then streaming the response back to users.
