PHP vs NodeJS

I am new to wappler and have been persisting with NodeJS as I hear there are advantages to it such as speed, and reusable components however I’m beginning to feel that it is not stable enough and relatively unsupported.

• database connections seem harder and not documented (from what I can see)
• layouts and partials not really working (again from what I can see)
• can’t delete a database connection from the wappler UI after realising that it needs a server connection rather than a direct connection (I think this is a wappler bug actually)
• email service not working in NodeJS
• most of the documentation/tutorials assume that you are setting up PHP not NodeJS and you follow them only to discover that you need to do it a different way with NodeJS.

I feel like we’re dealing with

1. Wappler v3 being very new and a few idiosyncrasies (which is undertsandable)
2. Some of the basics such as setting up remote servers not being easy and having to find documentation
3. NodeJS being a relatively immature stage of development

Combining all these factors makes it much harder.

So, my question is: Is it worth persisting with NodeJS or would it be fewer headaches with the old classic PHP?

(Given that we are developing e-commerce sites with tens of thousands of users and huge databases that we need to migrate across)

Would love to get some insights/advice before going much further.
