overview

• Node.js and PHP are in tough competition with
  each other when it comes to server-side scripting
  languages. Yet, PHP made its way early to the
  market and hence has major projects and a larger
  community. If you are looking for backend
  developers, you can hire dedicated PHP developers
  or hire node.js developers as per your
  requirements.

Code Syntax

• Node.js

• PHP

• While writing code you can say that Node.js
  requires writing more lines of code to inculcate
  the same functions as PHP.

• PHP is an old language and so it has had a
  significant amount of time to map changes in its
  structure and syntax.

5
Speed

• Node.js

• PHP

• What gives Node.js an edge over its competitors?
  The very fact that it offers its users an
  asynchronous development environment.

• While working with PHP one can observe that
  execution of all the functions and modules is
  done in a code-specified order.

6
Frameworks

• Node.js

• PHP

• Node.js has also observed a huge expansion of its
  libraries with frameworks like Derby, Express,
  Sails, and Meteor making it to the market.

• Being in the market for so long many frameworks
  have made their niche markets and have a rich
  library.

7
Performance

• Node.js

• PHP

• Node.js offers a quick start-up time and great
  execution speed due to its JavaScript V8 engine
  and its asynchronous nature.

• As PHP was created 25 years ago, there is a
  considerable effect of the same on its
  performance.

8
Request Handling

• Node.js

• PHP

• Comparing this feature of node.js with PHP you
  will observe that the system doesnt wait to
  execute other processes due to an ongoing one.

• PHP can only handle one request at a time. Hence,
  its bound to consume more resources on the RAM
  and CPU.

9
Community

• Node.js

• PHP

• As Node.js made it to the market more than a
  decade later than PHP it does have a smaller
  community.

• PHP is the oldest of technologies and hence has a
  huge community that directly helps it bag more
  projects under its belt.

10
Database

• Node.js

• PHP

• Node.js is well synchronized with all forms of
  databases, as it has grown with the advent of
  NoSQL databases.

• As PHP functions using an older tech, its more
  prone to work with conventional and relational
  databases such as MariaDB and MySQL.
