Java anyday, even though nodejs has improved a lot in last 8 years, the level of concurrency and through put JAVA can provide compared to node is unmatched, if you want to take it further rust or golang can be considered

To complicate it further, where does dot net fit in?

Software Engineer

Which backend technology, Java or Node.js, currently holds a stronger position in the market?

Java backend or Node js?

Java backend or Node js?- Grapevine

I’m currently weighing the decision between using Java and Node.js for backend development, particularly in the context of projects with strict deadlines.

 I’d love to hear your experiences and insights on this topic.

Java backend vs Node js

Software Developer

Do you guys think node Js is being used more than Java?
If yes why so?
In the future is everyone gonna start using node over Java?

Java vs Node js

Hi guys, I am currently working in a SAAS startup as a backend Engineer. Tech stack: MERN, AWS, little bit of GenAI now.

I know most big companies use Java springboot for their backend, so I'm thinking to learn it is I want to switch later. Or should I go for golang as it's becoming very hot in recent times. Or should I continue with NodeJS? Let me know your suggestion.

I have worked on little front end development as well.

Java springboot or Golang for Node devs

Short version:-So guys I am working as an automation tester wanted to switch to Development?

Long version:- So i joined my current company as fresher Had basic knowledge of java then was trained on java spring boot Microservices devlopment. Then put on bench for about 4 month(i actually wasted that time).Now got a project I do automation using python and selenium.I don't like doing it . So now I want to switch to development. Confused should i learn Django, Node js or should stick with java spring only. I am more inclined towards django as now i write automation script in python. And i personally feel it to be better then java (maybe cause it is easier to write).But i don't know market trends. That's why guidance needed.Thanks in advance

career switch From automation to Development

I’m currently an SDE3 at 7 YOE with majority of it in Node.js/Typescript. Was applying out but got outright rejected at few companies due to no prior Java experience. 
Have a verbal acceptance from a company in Java, should I be prioritising that over others to learn the stack for future?

Consultant

Why we don't use node js to build large scale application, in my small career of Full Time Engineering till now I haven't seen a monolithic app completely running on node JS as whole. Tho I have seen usage of node js everywhere but it's used for doing small task such as getting price of a crypto from multiple exchanges and then aggregating it(if we talk about a FinTech crypto app). I'm curious to know why people prefer Python(FastAPI, Django) over node js,tho js has asynchronous capabilities, it's understandable that Java and Golang are faster but why Python monolith over JS?

Node JS for large scale applications

Thinking of picking up a new language to learn this weekend, I know C++/Python/Java. Which one should I pick up?

Which language should I start learning next?

Growth Manager

I am a React.js Developer & have 2 YOE (6 months at a consultancy startup + 1.5 years in a service based MNC).

I do not like working with React.js for multiple reasons & do not wish to pursue working with this further. 

I want to know what are some alternative career paths or technologies that are as much in demand & feasible to switch towards? Ideally, towards a more stable, battle-tested technology or tech stack and something that is as well paying too. 

(..continued from my original post) Some technologies that I considering are JAVA , ASP.NET & Laravel as unlike React.js, they are not loosely opinionated and don't have a constantly changing API where the way of writing code itself changes (e.g - redux and/or using data fetching libraries) . There is no standardised best practice to conform to.

But, the problem is that I find Laravel jobs are not in use in corporates or large tech companies but apparently ASP.net core jobs are not as well paying for equivalent years of experience as that of a front-end React.js developer. 

TC - 8.6 LPA (2 YOE)

Suggestions requested! Want to change career path from React.js/Front end

I am a Java backend developer with 3 YOE. But I am considering to work remotely and do freelance on side.  All of this remote and freelancing opportunities and contributing to open source are much more available in typescript/node js.  Should I switch?

Has anybody here mad the switch successfully ? 
Any opinions on this are welcome

Will switching to Node js from Java developer be worth it?

Hello community,

This post is for getting guidance/opinion on the role switch from support role to development role. I really need help from fellow colleagues and exp professionals to proceed further.

So, I had 2.5 years of experience in SAP domain and recently I have switched internally (within the org) to the software engineering team that has complete back end work to do for a foreign client. Tech-stack is Java 17, Eclipse Jersey, MySQL, MongoDB, Azure Cloud and some other technologies too.

Parallelly I have been a part of an online platform for software engineering courses (eg. Bosscoder etc), where I learnt DSA, spring boot, HTML, CSS and JavaScript with React framework. The front end engg. part is not covered yet, but a part of the curriculum.

Now my doubt is, I am planning to work for some months here and in my resume, stretch the starting time of the SWE role,  to shadow down the SAP experience. Like 4-5 months experience shown as a year or so. Tell me if it can be a good strategy to reduce barriers of not having experience to join SDE roles in prod-based MNCs. (I know, that I will have to showcase deserving skills, based on experience, in the next company to get an offer, but still!)

Secondly, can the backend framework (Jersey) become a barrier to the job switch to java spring boot roles. Some people told me that experience matters and not the frameworks. I need ur opinions.

Lastly, I am recruited as a Senior software engineer, I will have to prove my worth not just to other companies, but  internally within the team. How can I learn more in less time, to equalise the skills with the job role, not 100% but even 60-70% would work. Where to start, what to take care?!

Job Switch: Seeking help

I've recently started my journey with a product-based company as a fresher, where my primary focus revolves around backend development using Node.js. Although I thoroughly enjoy delving into backend architecture and databases, I find myself at a crossroads. Heard many discussions among seniors of the rise of Deno, Go, and Rust, suggesting a shift from JavaScript. In view of a long-term perspective, I am contemplating dedicating time to learning an additional technology and engaging in side projects. Could you kindly share your insights or recommendations based on your experience? Your guidance in this tech landscape would be greatly appreciated. #BackendExploration #TechInsights

Fresher. Need help with choosing technologies.

I'm planning to learn backend.
1. After backend basics, which language and framework should I start with
2. Should I have to learn front end technologies too? 

From google getting very generic response.

Blunt advice

If you are a technical lead or a senior engineer or someone with enough context. How would you decide which language to use for the new application you are writing. What are the factors to consider ?

Golang, Java or Python

Hello all, I am a frontend developer (angular). I have 2+ yrs of experience, I want to transition into backend dev. But getting confused in which framework to choose, like spring boot, node, golang framework, django, flask etc.

DevOps Engineer

Hey all,

I am currently working in the automation testing team at TCS as a fresher. Previously, I have experience with C++ (Data Structures and Algorithms) and Python (Django). I am now looking to transition into a full stack developer role but am a bit confused about which tech stack to choose.

Being in this industry for so long, what would be your advice on which tech stack offers better opportunities, competitive salaries, and remote work options?

Thank you for your time and guidance.
