Node.js, python for API

Question

I want to build REST API which will communicate with MYSQL DB The application will have some heavy processing after I fetch data from DB and return. Node.js being single threaded might have some issues i fell.

I want to know if I should go with node.js or python is there any other technology I should be using ?

Answer 1

With my exp, python work with MySQL better than NodeJS in multi thread. But i think you should try some other solution if it's really heavy process, like using Spark for data processing.
