Performance Evaluation of Node.js and Python

Nodejs vs. Python: Performance and Speed
Advertisement
Python
Node.js can process several requests simultaneously and speed up code execution.
Python uses a single code flow. So it can process requests comparatively slowly.

Node.js allows you to code outside the web browser using TCP sockets, making it more resource-efficient.
Python has an innate architecture that restricts it from multithreading.
Nodejs vs. Python: Scalability
Node.js

1 2
1. Performance and Speed
Node.js frameworks facilitate multithreading via its asynchronous architecture.
Python
2. Scalability
3. Universality
Python does not support multithreading.
Python is dynamically-typed.

With Node.js, you can choose strongly-Typed TypeScript or weakly-typed JavaScript.

Nodejs vs. Python: Universality
You can use the same desktop app on Windows OS and Mac. Linux. Node'js has many use cases - web apps, mobile apps, and cloud and IoT solutions.
4. Architecture
Python
It enables cross-platform usage. Mac and Linux come with pre-configured Python, but you must install a Python interpreter for Windows. Python would be the top choice for IoT and Natural language Processing, but not so much for Python mobile app development.
5. Extensibility

Nodejs vs. Python: Architecture

Python
1. Node.js is event-driven.
It can process many requests simultaneously.
As Python is synchronous, it is slow.
It is not event-driven.
Node.js

Nodejs vs. Python: Extensibility
Every day, a new framework or tool poops up with Node as a base. The most widely used ones are:
Python
The great extensibility and many web development frameworks make Python an excellent choice for back-end development.

Bottom Line
For a data-intensive project with less code, Node.js is the ideal choice.
On the other hand, for a larger project with diverse integrations and calculations, Python's clean code and syntax will be a lifesaver.
