Node.js vs phalcon?

Question

Node.js

I'm looking for a highload solution for creating a REST API application
for input url parameters, for output json or xml, + inside we save statistics to the database and cache if necessary.
very large loads are planned

Answer 1

golang if you want some adequate highload and REST solutions. Another option is D+vibe.d.

Answer 2

Large loads are ElasticSearch as a database. It is accessed via REST by default, so you don't have to write anything else. This makes the speed even faster as one layer is removed. Easily and quickly scalable. Just enter the address of the new machine and the load will be distributed. Since it may have to be scaled dynamically. More servers in the middle of the day and less on weekends. Or when launching a new product, the first weeks are more servers, etc.
But you may have to install plugins to authenticate requests.
