Hi Eysenck,
You may not want to use Node.js (or any javascript vm) for this, due to the
inherent issues
javascript has dealing with fractional numbers, for instance, take the classic
expression:
"0.3 - 0.2 != 0.1"
However, as this is a financial application, you'd probably be storing currency
as an integer,
not as a float, so you wouldn't have this issue. (ie, store all currency in the
lowest fractional,
so $19.35 is stored as 1935).
As for choosing your web framework, you'll definitely want to make sure that
the framework
is either battle tested or built to a good standard (ie, it'd suck if you had
mass-insertion issues
in your DB, or if your app crashed and you lost all state of accounts.)
So, the TL;DR; of this is: You could probably use node.js + express for this,
but, you'll want to
make sure you know node.js first, before jumping down this chasm. You may just
be better off
using the stack of technologies you already know.
Kind Regards,
Micheil Smith
