Any Node JS developers out there? I was wondering what is your back end database choice you prefer? Is MongoDB worth it? I have tried lokiJS and Pouch, and was wondering if scaling up to full Mongo is worth it?

On other question.. I've only discovered 1 forum software written in NodeJS. Has anyone else found any forums for Node, or is php the defacto?

Thanks in advance.

 

Honestly, it's going to heavily depend on what you're building. Some applications make more sense to model around relational data, and some around documents and collections like a noSQL database. I tend to use PostgreSQL but you will come across developers using everything from MySQL to DynamoDB.

Flarum is Node based forum software, I'm not sure if you have seen that.
