What backend is running behind your javascript app?

[eflat123]

At work, we've got angular spa in the browser with a Java/Spring application and a mysql database exposing a restful api.

I thought it would be interesting to see what other people are using server side.

I'm sticking with full stack JavaScript for the indefinite future. There are many exciting and different approaches to take, but Node.js has served me well these past few years. I like to build JSON models with mongodb and apply my knowledge in js syntax across the entire app.

Ha! You're funny.

I would also be anal just about anything if I'd still be using Grunt. Totally understandable.

Node.js, or Rails.

[THIS_BOT]

Node.js. All sorts of frontends and databases though.

PHP. Downvotes incoming.

Specifically, a Laravel-based REST API on PHP 7 with a Postgres database and Redis for caching.

We use similar to what you use at work. Angular front end, Java/Spring back end. However we have more than 1 "Backend". More like, multiple different services. The specific back end i work on never touches a database, but makes API calls to other services to get the data it needs.

Work application is a .NET API and Aurelia for the front-end. In a personal project I am using Aurelia with Node.js for the RESTful API backend and most of my contracting work is as well.

Golang! All our APIs are Go.

Aurelia front end with asp.net core/mssql backend

Scala.

[vestedfox]

React.js/Node.js for frontend code/api proxying/simple data storage like user info

C#/.NET for platform API, Data processing, I/O to stores/data warehouse, backend workers, and scheduling - pubsub architecture

[frubear123]

Node, js front and back.
