I am interested in learning more about node.js and utilizing it in a new project. The problem I am having is envisioning where I could enhance my web stack with it and what role it would play. All I have really done with it is followed a tutorial or two where you make something like a todo app in all JS. That is all fine and dandy but where do I leverage this is in a more complex web architecture.
so here is an example of how I plan on setting up my application
web server for serving views:
- Python (flask/werkzeug)
- Jinja
- nginx
- html/css/js
API sever:
- Python (flask/werkzeug)
- SQLAlchemy (ORM)
- nginx
- supervisor + gunicorn
DB Server
- Postgres
So is there any part of this stack that could be replaced or enhanced by introducing nodeJS I would assume it would be best used on the API server but not exactly sure how.
It would replace
Python (flask/werkzeug)in both your view server and your API server.
