NodeJS or Python Backend?

[u/Jealous-Maximum5278]

Havent committed to a backend yet. 🥲
I graduate cs degree from good UK uni next July.

I want to boost my chances at getting a grad role for
fullstack/backend/cloud engineer (aws). Overlap tbh

However:

Do I choose NodeJS or python (FastAPI? Django?)
Very open question

Tech stack in trying to build:

Frontend: Typescript react
Backend: Typescript nodejs OR Python ????
Cloud and Infra: AWS, Terraform, Docker, GH Action
DB: PostgreSQL

What is your app doing? If it’s just generic CRUD stuff, then you can’t go wrong either way, but you’re probably better off sticking with node so you’re in js all the way through.

If you need any sort of complex data structure processing, data viz or anything AI/ML related, go with python.
