How to make friends 1C Bitrix and Node JS?

Question

1C-Bitrix

There is a task - to develop a highly loaded portal. I would like to optimize the time for developing the admin panel for the portal. There is an idea to use 1C Bitrix for the admin panel, and develop the entire front-end on Node JS.
Question: Has anyone done this? Can you share your experience or provide a link to an article?
PS: Of course, there are CMS on NodeJS itself, but in my opinion they are rather raw...

Answer 1

You can make friends with them only through a common database.
Accordingly, the whole question boils down to:
1. What is the structure of the database in Bitrix.
2. How to work with this database from a node.
You can easily answer the first question by installing Bitrix and digging into it (and nothing else, because the documentation and Bitrix are apparently incompatible things).
The second question is again easy to answer with a search engine.
But in general, this is some very strange undertaking, in my opinion. You won’t get any time optimization, but you’ll get plenty of fucking by crossing a snake with a hedgehog, and, in general, with the Bitrix API. If you know Bitrix well, write everything on it. If you don't know well, don't use it at all.

Answer 2

As Aleksey Ukolov already suggested , a generic BD can be used. Quite working, but unsafe option.
I would look for some kind of layer, like a self-written REST API to the 1C base (yes, in fact, it will also climb into their database, but still, there is less chance of breaking something, and the API has already been tested).
