Just out of curiosity, why do you use Node and PHP in the same stack?
Is it because Node sometimes has something that PHP doesn't?
Good question!
For me, it's not really about Node.js having something PHP doesn't. Both ecosystems are powerful, and each has its strengths.
I use PHP with Symfony or Laravel for projects where their mature ecosystems, structured architecture, and productivity make them a great fit. I use Node.js with NestJS when I need a TypeScript-based backend, especially when sharing types and concepts with a React frontend or building event-driven and real-time features.
I don't believe in choosing a technology just because it's trendy. I prefer choosing the right tool for the project's requirements, the team's expertise, and long-term maintainability.
At the end of the day, architecture and good engineering practices matter more than the language itself.
