I planned to design a web app that provides apis and web site, this is because the app can be used with mobile.
I’m currently using node-restify to provide the api, but now I need a way to serve dynamic pages of the app.
My initial idea was to use just ExpressJS to provide pages and APIs but I’ve read node-restify is much faster. Now my problem is that with restify I cannot serve html pages rendered in ejs.
Is there a way to have one app only and integrate express with restify.
Any suggestion?
It’s interesting what you’ve written here, because according to this benchmark (16th March 2012):
http://blog.perfectapi.com/2012/benchmarking-apis-using-perfectapi-vs-express.js-vs-restify.js/
Restify is a lot slower then Express.
Express can easily handle ~1500 requests per second while Restify only ~250 per second.
But even if they already improved Restify I doubt that it can be faster then Express which is already extremely fast. Not to mention that it is entire framework with very useful other tools.
Concluding: use Express.js.
