Node.JS
Event-driven, single-threaded event loop model allows for handling high number of concurrent connections, but can become a bottleneck for CPU-bound tasks
Python
Multi-threaded model allows for handling CPU-bound tasks more efficiently, but may struggle with high concurrency
Node.JS
Offers scalability options such as horizontal scaling (adding more machines to the system) and vertical scaling (upgrading the existing machine’s hardware)
Python
Offers scalability options such as multiprocessing and multi-threading to handle high concurrency
Node.JS
In high demand, with a recent surge in popularity
Python
Most in-demand programming language, with a steady growth in job postings
Node.JS
Steeper learning curve due to its event-driven and asynchronous nature
Python
Generally easier to learn and use due to its simple and consistent syntax
Node.JS
