💻 Why I switched from PHP to Node.js 🚀
When I started my journey as a developer, PHP + MySQL was my daily toolkit. It powered so many of my early projects reliable, easy to learn, and widely supported.
But as projects grew bigger and clients needed real-time, scalable, and modern applications, I felt the limitations. That’s when I made the shift to Node.js.
Here’s why 👇
Non-blocking & fast – Perfect for handling thousands of requests.
Same language everywhere – JavaScript for both frontend & backend = smoother development.
Rich ecosystem – npm has a package for almost everything.
Real-time capabilities – Perfect for chat apps, live notifications, and streaming.
Great for modern apps – APIs, chatbots, real-time systems, microservices.
Switching wasn’t easy – it meant re-learning architecture and best practices – but it has been a game changer for building scalable apps.
🌟 Lesson learned: Don’t be afraid to move beyond your comfort zone. The right tools can transform the way you build.
