I've been playing with Node.js and MongoDB and have been having fun. I can see right away the attraction of this pair (and other related) of technologies. The low bar of entry, the common JSON thread, the perfect fit for specific types of problems. Very nice. It's this technology that I'll be using (unless something better comes along) for my son's business site and mobile app (native w/REST services). The document aspect of much of the data where CRUD transactions are not required, the natural flow of JSON through the stack, just makes this nice. MongoDB is not a solution for all problems, but for my needs it will work very nicely. Then comes building the REST services for the apps. Node.js is just the right fit. An issue that some may have with Node.JS is finding a free or low cost hosting service for it. Because of the way Node.js binds to the port, it appears virtual servers do not work well with it. Not an issue if you have your own server, it&#
Just some random (isn't it all) thoughts and doings in my life.
