PHP is stable and reliable in terms of performance as compared to the Javascript framework. However, after comparing both the environments in the above image, you will see that Node.js stands out to be a lot faster than PHP, due to the following USPs: Speed-friendly V8 engine Callback functions which process many requests at the same time Continued Server connection Node.js is JavaScript or TypeScript running on a server (an earlier, now collapsed, answer claimed that somehow Node.js ran in the browser, which is 100% incorrect). It's faster, it's more scalable, and it's designed throughout to be secure by default.
