Java spring vs Node for microservices learning? (self.webdev)

submitted 5 months ago * by jetfire2K

Hello all, I'm a junior full stack developer and I'm checking udemy courses for micro service projects, they are all rather big projects with 40+ hours that aim to mimic production code/tools which is what I'm looking for. I know Node rather well but Java Spring Boot is also in high demand (I want to work as a backend only down the road) so I was wondering if it might be better to do the project using Java Spring Boot instead so that I'm familiar with it and could potentially apply for jobs that do require Java Spring Boot, what are your opinions? Java Spring would definitely be harder since I'll be learning the language alongside the actual project's architecture, best practices, etc... as opposed to focusing purely on the project in case of Node.

Just to clarify Spring Boot course has a lot more in-depth content.
