Node JS for backend

Even though we highly recommend to develop your backend application with django, coding your backend in JavaScript, and more precisely with NodeJS is a good option because:

• Same language between the backend and the frontend
• NodeJS community is huge, so you'll always find the resources you need
• It is better to use it for smaller projects

But what for frontend?

At Systra (and in general in the world), the front-end development is made using JavaScript. Plenty of tools can assist us in our development. Times when you could develop only by using CSS/HTML and a little bit of 'raw' JavaScript are behind us.

At Systra, we can develop our frontend applications by using either Vue or React:

Both frameworks:

• Are reactive
• Work with reusable components
• Have a wide community
• Are quite easy to take in hand

Are you more familiar with React or with Vue?

To help you decide, you can find some interesting data gathered by users (like satisfaction, appreciation, interest...) about the various frontend frameworks here.
