Hello, I have a small project that includes a client program (C# WPF) connected to a server, the data is all processed in PHP and stored in MySQL. So far, few people use the client per day, the average figure is 1,000 users, while 100-500 users use it at the same time.
Because I plan to support the project for a long time, I want to try to switch to something new, namely Node.js + MongoDB, and transfer the data to JSON for greater convenience. It seems to me that this is a more correct option for optimizing the process, because there will be many requests, it is necessary to store and transmit a not very small amount of information.
Question: Is it worth it to spend time learning Node.js + MongoDB and JSON if it can be done with PHP + MySQL and passed in the usual way. Although for some reason I am drawn to learn new things, but so far I don’t see OBJECTIVE thoughts to switch to it.

Just don't mix learning new technologies with a working project. Draws to study - study, and the decision to transfer something really should have a reason. With current small loads, there will be no difference, you can implement a new part of the project on node.

To learn new things is to develop new connections in the brain, in any case it is useful.
Are you drawn? - another sign that it's worth it.
More technology is better, you have already implemented a php+mysql backend, try something new. As a result, you will find what the soul lies most of all. Yes, there will be more opportunities.
So the answer is worth it.

Which way?

Straight ahead and slightly to the left.
Maybe not worth it? Evaluate the profit, the risks ... think carefully. Monga as the main data store is generally a very dubious choice. Better store everything in mysql/postgresql and aggregate in mongo, use read model, cqrs...

There is a legend that the node performs well with a large number of calls due to its asynchronous nature and works disgustingly with a large number of calculations.
