I'm thinking about learning Vue and Go. When and why do you use Node.js instead of Go for the backend?

When you start, services like Heroku, Firebase etc.. gives you a lot of power. Imho it's never a good idea. For example I have server rendered websites in go sdk (with the template engine) and other website in full node js stack (in my case react but the concept stays). I don't really see a use case for mixed use since having two different languages slow you down.
