Node.JS vs ASP.NET as backend server for my game

Node is not made for extensive computing. It’s just fast event loop, that why it shines in web dev. Net not so much better. Web, apis, messaging and such “light” and short lived thing are great made with them. C/++, Java, Go(?) are better suited for business computing. More low level, more control, less overhead. But for prototyping stuff, Node, and Net are shining. Just imho.

This. If you have any kind of CPU intensive processing going on in your node application, you will halt the event loop. This makes the whole application unresponsive to other users. Say no to node.

Personally I’d go with java and spring boot. With spring boot you can write a simple restful crud app in minutes: https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-rest/
Other possibility for quick restful crud app would be ruby on rails.

Well for now nothing exactly. I just return some strings for testing.

Well I’m not sure if NoSQL database would be a good idea due to the fact that I want to have player right? And his XP and level must be tied to the id. So I do need relations.

Just checked some benchmarks on the internet, and it seems that Node.js performs twice faster than WebAPI.

Edit: I suppose MongoDB would be the solution

MongoDB is great if you want awful tooling, awful domain specific query language and inconsistent data.
