You're going to teach your developers? Because I just couldn't find enough Golang devs around. Node.js is well known.

It's as fast or even faster than Java that you mentioned. In my experience, comparable to Golang.

Node.js backend performance is comparable to Java. Perhaps you had bad developers - trust me, if they screwed it up so bad they wouldn't be able to make your Java backend any faster, and probably couldn't get Go or Rust to work at all.
