This is why Node.js is completely unsuitable as backend. Until recently, there wasn’t even a standard Promise-based HTTP client. Why should we need to download a library just to make a simple HTTP request? It’s because Node.js’s standard library is too limited, leading to an explosive growth in third-party libraries. As a result, it’s vulnerable to security attacks, and maintaining it in an enterprise environment becomes a major challenge. Let’s use .NET or Go. Why use JavaScript outside of the browser when there are excellent backend environments out there?
