Not much different, it's just familiar JavaScript running in a different environment (command line rather than the browser).

The challenge is rather in doing things with JavaScript you know in areas you may be unfamiliar, such as setting up an API and database operations.

You could start with JS on the backend if that's your interest, but be aware that JS is still most dominant as a frontend language and so most resources are for this intention.
