This is a too-broad question as it's a primarily opinion-based question. I recommend you to read on Google about the different JS frameworks for backend / server-side and then make your own conclusions. But questions like this one might get closed (and deleted) in this site. – Frakcool Oct 01 '19 at 20:07

By using both client and server JavaScript, you can reduce the number of different concepts required for web development, get a possibility to reuse code between client and server and reduce the need for context switching.
Node.js uses an event-oriented architecture, which integrates very well with JavaScript (callbacks!). Using an event loop, Node interprets requests in a single thread asynchronously rather than sequentially, not allowing locks. This makes it incredibly fast, perfect for handling a very high number of requests, one of the main advantages that has excited so many developers to explore this technology.
